Hi Chris,
I've never been in one, but, from what I have read, the Pitts is fun in the
air, but a challenge on the ground. With all of that nose and wing
structure up front, there is no forward visibility on the ground, so you
must S-turn your way from point A to point B. Apparently, the airborne
attractiveness wins out. ;~)
I noticed the G-meter in the center of the panel, with broad red lines.
