The 640 is a great instrument platform. I fly IFR a lot, and have about 30 hours
in IMC in my 640. The back seat is tight for 2 adults. 1 adult or 2 kids can
fly comfortably in the back. I wouldn't bother with a constant speed prop. Keep
it simple with a 180 and fixed pitch prop. I flight plan for 125kts between
65-70% power. Flying at 75% power will gain a few knots, but increase fuel burn
and noise considerably. You can push it to 132 kts if the moon is in the right
phase and the stars are aligned correctly :).
Steve
