ICAO Doc 8643 — aircraft type designators ↗Checked 2026-09-14History & design
A family-owned aircraft line
Maule traces its business to B.D. and June Maule in 1941. The company’s 2026 history marks 64 years of aircraft production and places the M-7 alongside the MX-7 and M-9 in its STOL utility range. That company chronology should not be mistaken for an M-7 first-flight date.

Different equipment for the same utility role
VSKYLABS’ project, active since 2022, represents the M-7-235B in analog and G1000 landplane forms plus an amphibian. Standard wheels and large bush tires serve different ground environments, while the float version has a different stated takeoff-weight limit.

Systems & details
Read the variant before comparing figures
The developer specifies a carbureted 235 hp engine and oleo-strut main gear for its 235B. Its published figures are explicitly for the virtual aircraft. A modern manufacturer option or another M-7 engine installation should not silently replace that configuration in the profile description.
