Ryan,

The Christen Eagle is flown from the rear seat just like the S2 Pitts. Frank
Christensen cleaned up the cockpit area in the Eagle buy eliminating the
instrument panel in the rear seat. This greatly improves visibility in the
Eagle but requires you to use an "instrument stick" to reset your altimeter
and G meter in flight...unless you have extremely long arms!
