PoV display for R/C aircrafts?

[sgofferj]

Hi,

I'm slightly frustrated with my APM, specifically with the rather unprecise 3-LED status indicator which is hidden inside the plane, so I have been thinking what I could do...
First idea was to use a Nano with an RGB LED, let it decode the MAVLink from the telemetry port. Then I thought, a PoV display would be kinda cool.
Has anybody here experience with PoV displays? Has an R/C aircraft the right speed for a PoV display?

Helicopters, yes

(this obviously doesn't alias in real life like in the video)

No way with an airplane, unless you mount something that rotates on it. Maybe the prop?
