Hello all,
I know there's a separate forum for nose wheel vs tailwheel, but my question is a little more specific than just that. Which is- how is the forward visibility on the 9 on the ground? I realize it's a tough question to answer, but mainly I'm wondering if it's possible to see over the glare shield. I'm 5'8", so a little vertically challenged.
My wife and I are both private, SEL and have owned a 150 for a little more than three years now. Neither of us have any tailwheel experience. We are well into building the wings of what we initially planned to be a 9A. Recently we're thinking of tailwheel though. Zero forward visibility on the ground could be a deal breaker however.
Second question- is there anyone within 200NM or so of Little Rock who would be willing to donate a ride and discuss their RV9 in exchange for a fuel donation and lunch? We would fly there to meet you.

P.S.- no intention here of starting a never-ending debate about ground loops, nose-overs, insurance, crosswind, blah blah blah. Just want to know about visibility on the ground.
