Well, I am not looking to the side when I land the Cub (Super Cub,
Husky, Great Lakes). Seems to me it's done with peripheral vision.

Of course, the fields in New England are mostly bordered by pine
trees. I admit this was much more of a challenge when I had to do it
in Arizona (Super Cub, Great Lakes). But I still don't think I
actually turned my head and looked to the side.


Your right, and perhaps I didn't describe it correctly. In the J-3
(the Super Cub is different because you are in the front seat) I
"crane" my head to the side but look forward around the cylinders on
the side. So I'm looking forward, but my head to hanging around the
side.
