Good comments.

For those of you who remember Burt Rutan's proof-of-concept ground
attack aircraft, he mounted a Sony video camera so that it gave an
over-the-shoulder view of the cockpit controls and instrument panel.
Two crossed strings provided an x- and y-axis displacement reference of
the control stick in the cameras field of view.
