I remember when the Mojave was introduced into OZ, I thought at the time it was an impressive machine, but never got the opportunity to fly one and dont know anything about it's performance capability as compared to the Chieftain. The Chieftain isnt a real flash performer with an engine out, but with two people on board and full fuel it will fly away albeit not impressively. I'm curious as I'm sure we all are as to why this aircraft didnt. Would there be any pruners out there with sufficient experience on type to make judgement between the two types performance expectations. We know in the Aero Medical game that aircraft weight can sometimes blow out a bit due to some equipment that gets carried that's not listed as part of standard equipment load. I am aware that that can be quite a surprise come re-weight time.

For now for the same loading how does the Mojave perform as compared to the Chieftain.
