Reading Avwebs latest addition (avweb.com) I'm reading all about how
Cessna is developing (very hush hush) their "cirrus killer", new high
performance 4 place single. They are being very hush hush about the
whole thing, except for one point; the new design will be a high
wing....

Without debating the idea of high wing vs low wing as far as flying


advantages, the "perception" (right or wrong)of the high wing is a lower
& slower plane . When have you seen a jet fighter with a high wing??

Cessna has always gotten it better than any other aircraft company. They
have much more utility than Cirrus could even dream about. Wanna load a
bulky heavy object into a Cirrus in the rain? Not me. Wing position has
nothing to do with performance. People don't spend $350K based on
"perception." Most people I know do not believe in your "perception." To
sum it up you are simply wrong on all accounts. If you have stock in Cirrus
now would be a good time to sell.
