Twin Comanche comparisons
There is no difference in the measurements, although the later models
appear to be larger. The limiting factor is the main spar crossing the
cabin. The front of the spar is at the front of the second seats.
There is a myth that the later Comanches were stretched. They were not.
The overall length (excluding the prop extensions on the "C" model
singles) changed only fractions of an inch among the various models.
Adding the third set of windows only made the inside seem larger.
As to comfort of the second seat, at six feet one inch and 230 pounds, I
have been quite comfortable in the back seat of my 1959 single the few
times I have ridden back there. There was plenty of head room for a few
more inches of height. I can only assume that later models were no worse.
There is no practical difference between the cabins of the single and
twin Comanches of the same year.

Hello There,
I am wondering if someone can point me to a site or give me information
on the cabin sizes between the early Twin Comanches and the later
models that have the extra window. I'm curious as to the leg room a
back seat passenger may have. ie: would someone 6'5" and 250lbs be
comfortable back there?
Thank you,
Dico
