Re: A/C Retrofit for Cherokee Six

The club seating has the rear seats further back, so it is easier to get
into an aft CG situation than with the conventional seating.  I don't
believe a 7th seat is available for the club seating arrangement either.
I have a conventional seating Six-260.  When I was looking, I thought I
wanted a club seat configuration.  After considering it though, I realized
I didn't really want to have kids sharing foot space...   Now that #5 is
on his way, I'm glad I have the conventional seating, as it allowed me to
add a 7th seat. The conventional seating is a little tight for middle seat
leg room, but on the other hand, if you are tall the club seating limits
the aft positioning of the pilot's seat.
