Within 10 feet of the ground is where beginners make their mistakes. They forget that the plane is still flying even if its only a couple inches off the ground. They don't remember that THROTTLE controls altitude on approach, not elevator. They try to make the plane climb by adding elevator, which is exactly wrong. A high wing trainer helps prevent the stall that occurs when they do that. It doesn't completely prevent it, but it helps.

This is exactly what I am talking about! If 99 % of aircraft does this why would someone want to learn for months even years on a plane that doesnt have those characteristics? If you were beside me with a buddy box and expaining exactly what you wrote, it sounds like someone could land any plane! LOL No sweat I am just curious about the high wing trainer vs the PTS. I can pay $299 for a Arrow or $399 for a PTS. It just sounds like when I advance pass the Arrow high wing trainer I will need to learn all over again on a low wing taildragger. Thanks
