I figured this was a Kelso thing. When I did my cross countries I never heard anyone else use these expressions.

That Cherokee looks a lot like the Piper Arrow (yes, also a Cherokee) I used to lease. For some reason I found low wings easier to fly. Last time I landed a 150 I porpoised so bad I did a touch and go and had to give it another shot. By that time I had over 150hrs. Probably just got comfortable and cocky.

Sure hope you keep us posted on your progress.
