Hi guys:
For those of you flying the taildragger RV-7...
Has anyone compared the forward visibility of the RV-7 vs. the RV-6. Personally I have flown the tri-gear RV-7A a lot. I also flown the RV-6 quite a bit and consider it lacking somewhat in forward vis. To me the RV-7A seems to sit high and has good over the nose visibility. The seat position seems high and the canopy headroom seems better than the RV-6. But I have never sat in a RV-7 and was wondering if it has better over the nose visibility than the RV-6. Is the headroom of the tip up different than the slider?
Just curious.. currently flying an RV-4.
