Gordy and LRP are right....the closer in you look the harder it is not to over control.

Picking up reference points, and shifting your scan as needed for alignment and distance is the key....height can be done by braille once you are positioned properly.

As to Gordy's photo....what he means is he drove the truck and backed under the hovering helicopter.
