I wouldn't argue with any of that Kevin.

It's quite common to see people landing 172's too fast and floating
along in ground effect for ages before touching down, it's much less
common with Pipers and similar low wing aircraft from what I've seen.

The Cessnas are nicer to look out of, but the Pipers are nicer to look at :)

W = VI where V = IR

Yep; got it in one!
Power = Voltage x Current
Voltage = Current x Resistance
Therefore Power = Current x Current x Resistance or W = I^2 R.
