G'day Tinny me old,
Hmmm Cheyenne 4 is an impressive looking beast on paper, 300kts something FL 350, and 1800 nm but it won't do all of those those things at the same time.
Gets bragging rights at the bar if you need that but deep pockets you need.
It was Pipers last stand to try and cover the Conquest/Citation.
Most of their products were warmed over 310HP Navajo and they never dealt properly with the C of G and longitudinal stability problem that was already manifest in that aircraft.
All round C441 hands down. Won the market race b a country mile.
I'll give you a race from Sydney to Perth (yes nonstop westbound) and be on the ground in my hotel room or bar on my third or fourth.
BTW a C441 has the same cabin and cockpit layout as his C414. The only difference us torque and temp gauges. The concept was that an owner could step from a 400'series usually 414/421 straight into a 441. The turbine temp indicated was even compensated to look like regular CHT temps and auto torque and temp limiting.
Stand up the power levers like in your piston and everything just happens.
Start involves just pressing the start button and get on with seat belts and other stuff.
