Me too deeknow , always loved those ... must have been one of the biggest Piper built .
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2014 6:34 pmHave spent far too many hours in the PA31 of various variants. Scarey thing is after 18 years I'm still current on type. Only one that was decent to fly was the T1040 and even that really needed tip tanks if you wanted to go any where.
On the plus side the Navajo / Chieftain was a stable IFR platform and if you could start a warm engine then you were certainly qualified to fly it
