Interesting, your Pawnee must have better visibility below than the three that I have owned.


Well, I'm more concerned about what is in front of me than what is below me! On tow, in a Pawnee I can clear my flight path better, especially in turns. On descent, I can crank it over and see below me just fine, without those high wings in the way.

It does require care turning base to final when using opposite pattern from gliders - which I address with an angled final all the way to touchdown.

But to each his own - important thing it to fly so as to maximize lookout.
