So far, all of the DA62s coming over to North America from Austria have been fully equipped 7-seaters, so yes, we have the 3rd row with 2 seats that work fine for anyone up to about 5'10" in height. We did not opt for a removable stick, since my pilot wife and I like to fly together -- thus preferring dual controls.

Yes, we're fortunate to have one of only 2 town-owned T-hangars with 53 foot doors. This gives about 2 feet of extra space off each wingtip when towing through the door. We didn't have to be all that careful centering our DA42 within the hangar door opening, but with the DA62 it's a lot more critical.
