The G2 uses the down arrow key to give you a quick glance at the ground then goes back quickly to your plane. It works pretty well if your not too close to the ground when you decide to have a look - been there - done that. I've been having a blast with the G2 utilizing the Giant Aeromaster with a 120 4 stroke and flying it with the view set to the rear of the plane and seeing how far and in and through all the trees I can go before I crash. It's like being in a chase plane only your flying the one out in front of you.
