Isn't "he-man high-wing" an oxymoron?? hehe
Dave, congrats on your new bird. And great choice on the Warrior! One of the best damn values out there. (Why yes, how did you know I own a Warrior?!)

It's the 'real' pilots who can do it blind.... Damn straight! denny snicker OK, laugh it up, low wing boy. Let's see how you do when there's a 900' tree blocking your view when you're about to turn final! No sweat for he-man high wing pilots--we can't see the runway anyway! -- Dan C172RG at BFM

You can land a Skylane in a lot of places ... and, even more importantly, get back out of those places! Matt
