This is exactly what I was thinking I might try next with the macro rig.
I tried doing this (hand-held, unfortunately) in an air museum on a
smaller bi-plane, but I can only guess as to the combination of
variables that made it fail. I'm hypothesizing that at a macro scale,
I'll have less distortion to deal with. Maybe I'm wrong.

A different method of doing the ‘scanning” is to have a horizontal
shift bar that will allow you to move the camera back and forth in a
plane parallel with the plane of focus. Then all the images in that
shift line will be exactly the same size and allow for overlapping in
a mosaic.
For the next line, raise the camera using the tripods center post and
begin again.
