Very soon after WW2 started some inventive pilot had a shaving mirror fixed to his cockpit so he could see his 6. Soon after that all spits had the mirror. I would like to see this feature incorporated into the AH model

IMO it would be terrible, it'll always shake. I think it'll be hard to see anything in it

The mirror would be nice and they did work will.  There was some shake to them, but it wasn't that bad.  I know after flying a P-38 it worked well (No, not in combat).

But as rogerdee said, the coding work be a nightmare.  (No, I'm not a programmer, but have been told this).  Another thing, it would be just on more tax on the FPS.

All this being said, I think it would be great, but just don't see it happening.
