It must be (in my opinion), one of the coolest videos, yet.

See:- http://cue.la.coocan.jp/hdv_movie/Osanpo7.wmv

Be aware that the video is in WMV format, and is 95 Mb in size, but well worth the download.

Had no trouble with this video and yes it's full screen, for the one with older computers, may not be able to view this. Too bad this one is a good one. and so clear with high resolution.

What I did see was some very clear video though. I wonder what kind of cameras were used? I thought I saw the steering wheel move when the plane did.

I would guess based on the action or motion that it was on a three way switch like a flap toggle switch. It wasn't subtle motion. The head moved right and left to a fixed point as if center toggle was looking ahead and either direction from there moved left or right. The motion moved about as fast a some servo's when switched like that.

The yoke may have been linked with rudder motion. Thats a common (sort of) method of making your plane look like it's being operated from the yoke. A spare servo can be connected with a Y cable to the Yoke so when you put in aileron or rudder commands, the Yoke moves with the control surface.

I don't know if this is what the pilot did. It's just an educated guess.

Good grief!! 95 megabytes?? Don't they know anything about resizing and compression for Internet use?
Yes I have broad band but I still ran out of patience.
