Ppljr, thanks for the answer, and I know you mean well.

I have done alot of searching and reading on this forum regarding Airplane design. There are many threads and articles on sorting out pitch and roll coupling, these touch the wing-placement question. And I have found explanations on how to remedy the "non axial rolling" (don't know the word for it) a low or high wing plane gets. But have found no reason as to why designers place the wing so low in the first place. In one thread someone linked to a video file where Chip Hyde supposedly explains why he prefers low wing placement. But the link was dead and I can't seem to find that video by searching elsewhere either, I think it had the answer I was looking for.

I'm sure someone can point to a thread that answers my questions, and since I have failed finding that thread myself. Please do.
