Pretty much agree with all that has been written, but don't expect to see even 170 knots with reasonable power/fuel flow settings loaded up to gross.
Chieftain is easier to keep in CG than the Nevergo that can too easily fall aft of the CG unless you have sufficient weight to load into the nose compartment. However, a fully loaded Nav is less of a dog than a fully loaded Chieftain.
If the Chieftain rings your bells, then try to get one with the heavy duty brakes and extended flap mods. Will pay for themselves in getting into the shorter strips of the outback.
Also be aware that the gear warning horn is only enabled when the flap switch is in the DOWN position. If you flip the switch back to neutral after selecting the desired amount of flap, you will have just bypassed the gear warning circuitry.
And finally, be aware that the magnetos on these are NOT TRULY INDEPENDENT. Both mags get driven from the same drive shaft. If one magneto craps the drive, you've lost that engine, no matter how good the other mag is.
Great aircraft though.
