High Wing or Low Wing

Canard based. Best of both worlds.

I thought I would throw out this old debate question to get peoples
personal experiences and reasons for preferences? Thanks

difference whether you have a high wing or low wing.

If you're driving around like a car, something like a Cessna Cardinal
is the ticket.... especially for the skirted lady passengers. Low to
the ground, big doors for ease of entry and exit and the view is
quite good with no strut to mess with. Front seat view is remarkable
for a high wing, as well, being that one sits quite a bit forward of
the leading edge of the wing... as I remember from


Barnyard BOb

A high wing is nice when you tie down in the rain and great shade while you
watch the show. Cessna 140 and 177 were great for us. Of course, the only
way to go with floats.

Only *practical* way to go with floats. Looking through the TCDS
for my Cherokee, I ran across the obscure model PA-28S-160 and
PA-28S-180.... A hershey-bar cherokee on floats. I managed to find a
picture of one... funky.

We also had a DC-3 on floats in the area a couple years ago. On dry
land, you could easily drive an SUV under it.

Question: High wing or low wing?
Answer: Yes.

Both... and a canard... everyone should have a canard biplane, Wright?
