Weird timing... I've totally been thinking about this lately as well,
not so much for leechers (not a problem for me yet, but maybe
someday... so much as for safety reasons since I do like to engage
in intentional maneuvers involving abrupt changes in my aircraft’s
attitude, abnormal attitudes, and abnormal accelerations, not
necessary for normal flight... It would sure be nice to clear the air
first by looking at my rear/bottom view cameras instead doing clearing
turns.
