Sean. Have you ever mounted this rig on top of your horizontal stabilizer pointed forward? Does the gimbal keep the frame level with the horizon when the glider banks?

I understand that one needs to be careful with W & B and FARs, but I think some shots like this would be interesting compared to the usual fixed camera mount that tilts with the bank.
