A videocamera at the tail sounds nice in really tight thermals; those

Small video cameras are numerous, and we already have a screen in the
cockpit. Does anyone know how to connect a video camera to an Ipaq?
Perhaps a Bluetooth camera and software exist for Ipaqs? That would make
it easy - just a little video "bump" on top of the fuselage a few inches
aft of the canopy, looking aft. Tap a button on the Ipaq to switch to
the video, tap to switch back to the flight computing.

I've tried mirrors of various type without much success. This might work
better.
