Hey folks,
How are the rear-seat spar boxes comparable between a PA-34 and a PA-28, size, brackets and bracing, etc., especially in terms of the geometries of the control surface cables? Some autopilots are approved for the -34 but not necessarily the -28 and vice versa. I just find it curious how different they could really be (aside from lack of deicing boot plumbing!).
I know that Piper frequently made small mods to airframes versus designing clean-sheet new birds, so I figured some of our gurus might be able to help.
Thanks!
