  • Single rear seat

    Built the single seat for the rear so I'd have the option to have 3 people plus room for lots of stuff.

    I really think single rear seats make sense, whether you make 1 or 2.

      I still have the bench seat so just have to pull out the single seat & replace it with the bench.

        You may consider how your rear passenger will egress in the case of an emergency or after a wreck. If you pile baggage between them and the door it may be challenging or impossible. Might be wise to put the passenger next to the door even though it will add some difficulty to loading the baggage.

          Before the rear doors access was through the pilot doors, make front seats to flip forward like all Cessna's do.

        Good point. That can be easily remedied.

          I think the single rear seat is a great idea which I why I'm doing it also. The BH is capable of hauling 3 guys and gear into the backcountry so might as well make some room for gear.
