I flew a Christen Eagle for the first time yesterday. Sure did feel nekkid sitting under that big bubble so far from the top wing. I felt like I could see everything. Nice flying plane. I can see why their owners love them. One problem, though. I tried a roller and I was bouncing all over the place. Way too much elbow room in the back, nothing to lean against.
