That looks like a blast! Looking forward to it.

Hard to tell from the perspective of your pic, but doing a search of internet pics shows the CP-65 being soloed from the front seat. Is that that correct?

It can be soloed from either position. Ours will have a be default from the rear with a camera view which will allow it to be flown from up front. It feels less claustrophobic sitting the aft position. The view over the nose is better up front
