> All the PTs are certified for 50lbs max baggage(at plus 98 inches). The baggage compartment for the -19 and -26 is the same size and location, aft of the rear seat. The difference is access to the -26 is from inside the canopy through a much smaller opening than the side opening on the -19. Makes for some packing challenges, but the volume is the same. I don't have the exact dimensions, but about 40 inches long, by the width of the fuselage, approx 12 max height with semi circular shape.

If you're a lightweight and going solo, you can carry a fair amount under the front seat and strapped into the backseat. Golf clubs in the backseat look cool(don't ask me how I know this). And a case of beer fits pretty nicely with the bottom cushion out.
