Tomcat, I would love to see photos of your mirror set up. I would think the convex mirrors would distort too much to really see where you are on the ramp. I got a "baby monitor" small wireless camera with a 3" monitor that I am going to try to see how that works. With my wide body, I don't have much room on the sides, and if I start getting slightly crooked on the ramp it just aint good. Your mirrors sound like they may work, let me see what it looks like, thanks.
