Low to the ground, big doors for ease of entry and exit and the view is quite good with no strut to mess with. Front seat view is remarkable for a high wing, as well, being that one sits quite a bit forward of the leading edge of the wing... as I remember from Barnyard BOb |

A high wing is nice when you tie down in the rain and great shade while you
watch the show. Cessna 140 and 177 were great for us. Of course, the only way to go with floats. "Bob Babcock" wrote in message om... I thought I would throw out this old debate question to get peoples personal experiences and reasons for preferences? Thanks |

I managed to find a picture of one... funky. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * The prime directive of Linux: * * - learn what you don't know, * * - teach what you do. * * (Just my 20 USm$) * ************************************************** *********************** |

Both... and a canard... everyone should have a canard biplane, Wright?
