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

Perfect solution. Nice video. Looks great in the red livery.
