Under standard conditions the Maule will comfortably reach and cruise at 15,000 feet. On a cooler than standard day the sky's the limit( :wink: ) and I've had it up close to 18,000 which is the bottom of Alfa Airspace which I can't enter without an IFR clearance.

Below 12,000 no O2 is required but it's not a bad idea over 8,000. Between 12,000 and 14,000 you're allowed 1/2 hour without O2. above 14,000 you need O2. The requirements are different for crew and for passengers. It's OK for passengers to fall asleep.

The Arrow is a fine airplane. I have some time in a Turbo Arrow from when I lived in Kalifornia. Are you a pilot Dmmcd?

Spud your pics are wonderful. Thanks for posting them and thanks for your generosity and fellowship for having me out there. Do I get my certificate in the mail? :wink:
