I am the same just in reverse. Low wings make me look bad, but I prefer flying them to high wings. My instructor tells me to forget where the wing is . Flare the same. Less flare is needed in the low wing it seems. Time will take care of it. Just make the world stand still in the flare and put it on the deck. I know. Easier said than done. Trust me, I know. One thing I did notice is that a piper does'nt need as much of a pull in the flare because of the stabilator. I had a huge habit of ballooning in the Piper due to that. A little less pull, and all was well. How much time in the high wing?
