That was a cool video. Never imagined a view from the cockpit.

I enjoyed seeing the ailerons working in relation to the biplane's orientation to the ground. The rain adds a bit of suspenseful atmosphere.

And actually flying with the FPV goggles. I got lost a few times ! So important to have a spotter.

I can't imagine how disoriented I would have been to watch, let alone fly through the goggles! I would have laid down first to keep from falling later.
