"Primary effect of controls" video anyone?

I'm looking for some very short (15-30 second) video clips on the primary effect of controls, taken from the cockpit, to be used in a short presentation on how to fly an aircraft for 10-year olds. Something along the lines of "yoke forward, aircraft pitches down, altitude decreases, airspeed increases" and a similar thing for climbing and turning. A Youtube+Google searched showed nothing there. Anyone's got anything?

10 year olds will probably think they know it all already from playing xbox's. Good luck!

Errr....
Have you thought about just getting in an aircraft with a second person and filming just that? Shouldn't take long and you can do your own commentary as you show the film.

Yeah, and I'm also looking at capturing a video from MS Flight Sim. But if anyone has something like this already done and lying around, it's much less hassle.

In my experience they don't have the concentration span for principles of flight. Last time my daughters signed me up for a talk at the local school I bulk-bought 200 polystyrene slot together gliders which I assembled and launched into the crowd while answering questions such as "How many guns 'as it got mister?"

A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...

Probably not much help, but I understand the video is available as an option on one of the auxiliary displays on all Airbus variants, as a last ditch measure for crews who can't remember the basics.

Read Trevor Thom to them at night time rather than Harry Potter.
