The other qualities a Stearman has more than compensate for its visibility
problem! In the Pitts it doesn't really matter becuase it moves so fast
than anything that's blanked by a wing now will become very visible in just
a second...

Try it in a biplane. Damn near everything is invisible then!


Yeah, in my whopping 0.6 hours of biplane time (a Stearman), I was
surprised to find that visibility really sucked.

I expected to see more from an open-cockpit, I guess -- not less.

Still, it was a gas to fly!
