According to "The Cherokee Tribe" by Terry Lee Rodgers (Cherokee Pilots' Association, no date given), the Arrow 180 and 200 has a fuselage length of 24' 2" through 1971. The Arrow II has a length of 24' 7" starting in 1972. The Arrow III has a length of 27'! I have trouble believing that last number. Any Arrow III owners able to confirm that the tapered-wing Arrows are over two feet longer? According to the pretty picture in the POH for my '79 model t-tail Arrow IV, the length is 26' 11.9" Room in the back is ok, not great. |

What light planes DO have nice backseats? Also, if you are below 200hp, you are unlikely going to need much room back there. I am just shy of 6'3". Most planes become 3 seaters with me up front. So far, I see a 182 is okay for a small person behind me, a Cirrus is okay as well. I would have to adjust my seat for a Mooney to work well. Haven't seen the long Arrows, but the regular ones - forget about it. 172, no soap. A Mooney is designed a bit different though because its a "tall person's plane". Al Mooney was pretty tall. I'm 6'4" and own an F model (a bit longer than the E and other's before it). I can sit in the front or the back. I have taken 4 adults up on short trips. I have 1000 lbs of useful load and only burn 10 gal/hr so with light fuel you can have 4 guys. The difference in the seats in the Mooney is that there is a HUGE distance between the front seat and the rudders. Short people have to buy rudder extenders in the Mooney because it simply was not designed with short people in mind. The Mooney is the only plane I've ever flown that I could actually sit close to the panel and not be out of leg room. -Robert |
