I have a One Design DR-107. I've never had a sighting device on a monoplane. On my Pitts it had the star pattern at perfect eye level at the 9 o'clock position.

On the 1D, it appears as though the sighting device's horizontal line will be well below my eye level. The vertical line of the triangle is easy to put in the correct fore/aft position so vertical rolls and such should be ok.

I guess my question is, unless the upper vertical/angled portion of the device is not at eye level will I have to compensate visually. Putting that upper point at eye level makes for one really tall sighting device.

Or do you want it to be more towards the center of rotation of the aircraft and not at eye level??

I was already looking down towards my wing for angles and such before so maybe I'm over thinking it.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Russ
