100HP Chief... COOL! Cheifs are great planes. I'm more into the Champ, but the Chief is really the same, just side-by-side. The O-200 is a VERY common engine, easy to keep going. It's probably easier to fly (read: land) than a 150 tailwheel, and it really IS a go anywhere plane. Still not a Super Cub, but it'll get of the ground QUICK and with the conventional gear, those fields you want to check out? Wouldn't be a problem at all. Speed... not all that much faster, but takeoff and climb are so much better.

Looks like you found a real cool plane, now get working on that license!
