Default How do I fly a low winger?

Just for the record, I never mentioned the wing location as making any difference to flight characteristics. He asked about the possible differences in flying his low wing Corospit vs his trainer and I tried to give him some of the possibilities to watch for.

Coro MAY fly just like balsa, but from everything I've read, Coro is heavier than balsa, which raises the wing loading. Correct?

So I essentially explained the potential problems without giving him a lesson in aerodynamics. (Figure he has pletny of time to learn all that. )

P-51B,
I disagree. Take off and landing procedures for tail draggers are different than trikes.
