Default Twin Comanche comparisons

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?


Henry Spellman was exactly right about Comanche cabins. I have a 1965
single, and at 6'4" I can sit comfortably behind the pilot seat in its
rearmost position. There's not a large gap between the back of the
front seat and the front edge of the rear bench (which is over the spar)
but the rear bench is very deep. In my plane the back seat may be more
comfortable than the front! But it probably has a lot fewer person-hours,
too.
