Narrative:
I was on a final to ahn. We had been vectored to the ILS approach to athens. I heard ATC tell aircraft Y to follow traffic which was a C150 on a 2 mi final. The maule pilot replied to ahn tower and was told again. After 30 seconds or so, my safety pilot said 'lose the foggles.' as I removed my foggles I saw the maule crossing my path. Athens tower told the maule to go straight and circle to land behind my aircraft. I dropped about 300 ft to avoid the maule. On short final I heard the tower ask the maule to provide 1 mi separation. I landed and was about 2000 ft down the runway when the maule landed on the same runway behind me. I turned immediately for the taxiway to clear the runway. Luckily, I had a very good safety pilot on this day.
