For those of us who use the mouse to control the aircraft, using a mouse to lean isn't the best system. (though I admit, I do already pause the simulation to change views, though more often I just zoom out to a wider angle.

Lots of taildraggers could benefit from this. I guess I should write a Nasal script and give it some key bindings, like maybe the numpad with some modifier. I'm not sure if that is possible though. Maybe another mouse mode, or some modifier in the view mode?
