High wing to low wing converts...or, visa versa?
I find myself in the position of having just under 200 hours in Cessna
172s/152s (99% C-172 time), approximately 9 hours in an Archer, and in the process of making an offer on an Arrow. So, I'm well on my way from being a high wing to low wing convert. I'm wondering how many other folks out there did their primary training with the wing on the top then switched to flying (or even better, buying) one with the wing on the bottom...or even the other way around? Any issues, likes/dislikes about the transition? It's funny because I started out researching Cardinals (still like them, have yet to fly one but really want to some day). Two weeks ago, things shifted gears with a different partner on a possible Cherokee. Then, a week ago, this same partner has a friend who found a really nice '67 Arrow that the three of us are going to make an offer on. Adding it all up, four potential partnership prospects and four aircraft prospects (first potential partner bought himself a C-172 XP and offered me 1/2...I declined based on a questionable engine). The Arrow deal isn't done yet but it's interesting to see how things have twisted and turned a bit in the last few months. One thing is for sure, I've definitely hooked up with a couple of partners that I'm very comfortable with. That in and of itself has been worth it. Should the Arrow deal fall apart, plan-B just might be a two way deal on a Cherokee. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL, IA Student, Student Arrow Buyer "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
