I would like to see some attempts at control systems that are not 
based on little sticks.  I've mentally "designed" several that are 
based on natural flying movements.  When you describe a flight or a 
maneuver to someone, you might use your hand to demonstrate it...but, 
do you ever just use your thumb?  No.  Why not have a natural flying 
movement control.  Most of my ideas have been "glove-in-a-box" 
designs, but SGI has a control system based on a glove with free 
movement.  Imagine using TWO gloves at once!  That's control.

By the way, my wife thinks that I think too much about this kind of 
thing.  But, my ideas usually show up in production within a year or 
so.  How long until this one is financially feasible?  I'm not 
holding my breath.

Aviation tip:  If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. 
If you pull the stick back they get smaller. (Unless you keep pulling 
the stick back...then they get bigger again)
