Okay, well lets put it another way - the cheapest aircraft I can learn in is a C152. I have had a few trial lessons here and there but only in P38s. Club now only has C152s, C172s or PA28s
if you had a choice between high wing or low wing which would you choose (Cessna vs Piper). My understanding is that low wing aircraft don't experience as much crosswind on the ground and glide better. Not saying this is a good or bad thing.
