Thanks!

Hi MACADEMIC. Yes you certainly can. The great thing about Track IR is that it works off 6 axis of movement so for example if you look back in a Spitfire or P-51 Cockpit & are confronted by a restrictive view from the head rest etc, you can move your head left or right & the 3D movement will able you to look around the obstruction as in real life. It's also great for instrument reading. Simply move your head forward to become closer to the console & recline back in your seat to increase the FOV (field of view) once again.
I will aim my next Wings of Prey video at yourself & will dedicate it to the workings of Track IR, using the LA-5FN. Hope it'll help! I'll post it on my 'What Birds of Prey Should've Been' thread.
