Can someone be 6'2" tall and still comfortable in a Cherokee PA-28-140? I find myself hitting my legs with yoke with the seat all the way back...

Front seat yes - same dimensions as all other PA-28s, including Arrows. Back seats -- not so much. Less back seat room than all other short-body PA-28s.Can someone be 6'2" tall and still comfortable in a Cherokee PA-28-140? I find myself hitting my legs with yoke with the seat all the way back...
Early C-150s had the same tiny doors as the C-120/140. The doors of the 1966 C-150F were somewhat wider and taller; and for 1967 (C-150G) the doors were bowed outward, providing a welcome additional 3" of cabin width at the elbow. All subsequent 150s and 152s had the same arrangement.Pick a later year one that has the larger doors. I had a '62 and it was very tight for my 6' brother.
All Cherokee 140s were built with the bowtie yokes. After 1968 all other PA-28s and PA-32s had the ram's horn yokes, but the -140 sported the bowtie until the end of production at the end of the 1977 model year. If you find a -140 with ram's horns, it's a retrofit.I'm 6'1" and comfortable, seat is either one or two notches forward from the back. Not sure if the yoke type makes a difference for leg clearance but I have the rams horn style, not the bowtie that would have originally been on a '66.
