They're Wonderful planes in that goofy wind.  A C172 would have been a handful..

Is a big reason for that because the wings on the Piper are "under" instead of "over" like in the 172?

Partly, yes...  The relationship between the center-of-gravity, and center of lift plays a part (C172 is like a pendulum). But I think the dihedral is the big factor. With a Piper, the wind is already "under" the upwind wing (even with a correction in)..  Whereas in a C172, it can go from over the wing, TO under, AND back again, during the approach/flare.

Chief  I saw the video! Amazing!!!

BTW Brett ,..You need a camera man too shaky, go to the USA immigration and  say there is a 43 years old man and 14 years old boy (we will put him in sounds) experts in TV stuff , you need them for filming ,cleaning the planes, the car , the house, fix the garden .....LMAO!!!

That was a tough landing isn't?, did you had a small crosswind ? that came at your 9 o clock..correct?  

Yeah.. the wind was out of the east.. gusting and shifting.

The camera was mounted on a tripod (secured by seat-belts and bungie-chords..lol).

Very nice... and right on the centerline.

I like the camera placement- much more interesting than setting it on the glareshield.

Nice, I like the angle too, it's nice to see the controls move during the video.

Oh, and nice landing too. 8-)

Next time, I'm going to try it from over my left shoulder with the zoom set enough for a good instrument scan.  I'd like something with instructional value... though considering the weird winds and KingAir in pursuit; take a gander at the VSI for the last couple miles...  8-)  It shows how a stabilized approach made it all easier.
