    Forward facing camera for Pitts S1C?

    I am in the process of buying a Pitts S1C. Am figuring that a forward facing camera might assist with landings, given the poor visibility. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences of cameras on tailwheel planes, and any that you'd recommend? Cheers!

    Since you posted in two areas, I replied in Aerobatics. Summary - not good idea.

    Trying to look at a TV screen while landing/taking off in a Pitts (or any airplane) isn't a good idea, in fact, a really bad one in my opinion. Just learn to look outside and use you peripheral vision. For slow taxi, simply S-turn.
