Default A question from a lurker


A small camera and wireless transmitter, along with a wireless

receiver and
LCD screen to match, is now available as a back-up aid for people not
comfortable backing up large cars and vans. All this for less than

$100!

Something like that would make a lot of sense for a big airliner,

wouldn't
it? g [on front wheels]


Hey, not so funny an idea! What about a camera for tailwheel
aircraft to see out front?? That way, they wouldn't have to do s-
turns, and they could avoid some horrible accidents.


Wasn't this idea discussed in great detail following the accident where a
warbird ran over a homebuilt at OSH last year?

Yes. It was politely, but soundly, debunked be the only experienced warbird
pilot who regularly posts here.
