The Piper Cub is (in the USA) one of THE iconic aircraft. It's main rival in iconism is the Cessna 150, but you can trace the 150's evolution from the 140, and arguably from the Cub, as well. My first flight during which I took control of the aircraft, was in a Piper Tomahawk and I will never forget it; it was like swimming and driving a speedboat all at the same time, the visibility was fantastic, and from what I remember the handling was very comparable to the 150/152. The question is, first rhetorically, "Why was the Cub a high wing aircraft?", and more specifically, "Can the next iconic ab initio aircraft be a low wing?"
