High Wing or Low Wing

[MBDiagMan]

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

I went with a low wing (Cherokee 235) because I found one within my budget that was a reasonable deal and met all my requirements first. If I'd found a 182 that also met all my wants first, I'd probably have gone with that instead. It's really personal preference.

Is a biplane considered the worst of both worlds?

Some high wings have amazing visibility.

Yes your airplane does.

Low wing planes are much easier to fuel than high wing planes. High wing planes are easier to sump until lawyers get involved (how many sump points on a re-start 172?).

Just for reference: 13, lol. However, only 10 of them are on the wings.

I'm down with that except I don't like beer.

???? are you really a certificated pilot???? It's okay to debate high vs low but not liking beer is really pushing it...

And it ain't just 172s. Late model 182s and 206s have the same thing.

I think the best variant is when the wing is NOT in the way at all, high or low. Simply fold it back and enjoy the view!

What are we debating again??
