That's for sure. The Cessna's I've flown glide better than the Piper's
I've flown and the high wing makes location of a suitable landing site
much easier. The Arrow I now fly would be downright hazardous in an
emergency landing. You have limited glide range and lots of drag.

Matt, tip on flying the Arrow for glide... don't put the gear down until
you have to. Use airspeed and flaps only, the airplane glides well.
