High Wing/Low Wing/Biplanes
I'm writing a paper comparing high/low wings and biplanes as far as advantages and disadvantages go. Does anyone here know of any key points I should be sure to include or any good sources to find info on this topic

also in my experience, high wings get rocked hard on gusts during landing.

Blind Spots
Low wing descending to pattern altitude while a high wing is already there. They can't see each other.
Just a thought
Almost forgot - Mother Nature (or deity of your choice) doesn't make low wing birds.

Ground effect - low wing airplanes can stay in ground effect longer a few feet higher than a high wing airplane. That makes flare-to-landing different as well as soft field take offs and landings.
