        Gang,

        I don't care about bells and whistles as long as I get one. But as
we have a shopping list...

Settings saving?? So the dip switches are software controlled? Cool! But not
if it halts the project.

That sounds fun - but if there is enough buttons (and I think there is) -
can we have an instant on & instant off for those panic attacks?

So... left/right/thrust (hold or release)/on/off?
