DR400 comfort
I have only done a few short trips in the back of the DR400 and I found it OK if a little cramped, however the front seats are amazingly comfortable and on a number of occasions I have used the 240 ltr fuel tanks to stay in the air for over five hours.
Of course when carrying all that fuel the aircraft effectively becomes a two seatter with a lot of baggage space.
The unfortunate thing about the Eco Flyer is that the aircraft has aft C of G issues and this is not helped by the lack of wing tanks, I have yet to do the numbers but I would guess that filling the rear tank drives the C of G too far aft to put anyone in the rear seats. If anyone has the numbers on a individual aircraft and can disprove my guess I will be happy to be corrected.
