Default Soft field landings - low wing vs high wing aircraft

That's just Cessna -vs- a Cherokee though, nothing to do with high or
low wing. The Diamond DA-40 has tremendous elevator authority, and you
can keep it rolling on the mains only for just as long as a C172. But it
is low wing.



I can't deny it. My comments are based strictly on my own experience... and 99%
of my flying has been in Piper and Cessna aircraft. That's what I had to fly;
not what I necessarily would have preferred to fly. Although I do like both
quite a lot.
