I'm only 5' 2" and need 2" cushions to see over the cowling and to
reach the pedals in both high wings (150/152/172/177, Champ) and low
wing (Tiger). I don't recall ever losing sight of the runway turning
base to final either.

Interesting. When I fly a high wing, the runway always disappears in
turns. (I'm 6' tall.)

Of course, your Cardinal's wing is mounted properly, so that the runway
environment *never* disappears. Which is why the Cardinal was on my short
list of aircraft when I first started looking for an airplane.
