[PSUBS-MAILIST] Main pilot console

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Tim, im trying buikd multiple redundancy in my systems. With six
thrusters to control i want to the ability to adjust each as necessary
manually. The backup is the flight stick in combo with the plc for presets
for different maneuvers that could be preprogrammed  or programmed on the
fly. In that scenario, the flight stick has full control of speed, and
vectoring of the rear thrusters in combination with the canards. The other
hand is now free to hang on as I do a barrel roll.
