Learning to Fly Aerobatics in a Pitts S-2A

I go for my first aerobatic flying lesson in the Pitts S-2A. Even just taxiing in a Pitts is difficult, because there is almost no forward visibility. I did the takeoff myself (with minimal help from my instructor) and I'm glad to say that I overestimated the difficulty of a takeoff in a Pitts. Landing it is another matter though, and way above my current skill level, approaching at 100mph in a sideslip just to be able to see the runway... As for the aerobatics, we did accelerated stalls, wingovers, aileron rolls and loops. The G-forces rom the loop did catch me by surprise though, but all-in-all a super fun experience.
