Feedback Needed - Homebuilt Aircraft Cruise Speeds

But if the plane noses over and comes to rest inverted, the high wing is probably better. High wings usually have more structure in the upper half of the cockpit (think roll cage).

Yes, a high wing has structure in a roll over. But it is the initial impact that kills. A roll over is generally low impact. I saw a C-172 and a Glastar flip over. Both tipped over very slow with no injuries at all. Sure, the low wing needs some roll bars or cabin structure enough to keep the pilot from hitting
