X (leitmotive) ... test I-16 for 6DOF?
Quote:
A.S. How was your visibility to the rear in the I-16? For example, was the tail or the area behind it visible, did you simply have to look back, or did you have to crane your neck?
N.G. We stuck our heads out far enough to see the tail wheel. If you could see that, it meant that you could observe the rear hemisphere normally—you could see behind you.

See the tail wheel beneath the aircraft, while strapped in? I was surprised to see this.
