RSSVirtual pilot video rig for R/C plane
Check out this awesome Google vid of a gyro-stabilized camera rig with a video headset for an R/C plane. It puts you in the cockpit and the camera moves around as you move your head. And most amazingly, it uses all off-the-shelf parts.

this looks awesome!
i bet if he were to invert the X & Y he could mount the camera on the underside of the plane in a bubble and get some really awesome 360 views!

That video has been floating around for a while. Still, very cool. There's more info on First Person View RC piloting at this Wikipedia Page.
