Nick;
I have a question. Will your FBW system allow the pilot to set a 'neutral' postion for the yaw control?
I am 6'5" and a naturally comfortable position for my right forearm is about 40 degrees off the centreline; so for some cyclics my wrist is 'cranked' about 30 degrees. For more 'normal' <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> pilots, say 5'10', the forearm would probably be about 10 degrees of the centre line.
If one will have to twist one's wrist from this position it would make life a lot easier if one could at least start from a comfortable neutral position.
On a slightly different topic; about 12 years ago, I did a gig with an aerospace PhD candidate who had done some helicopter FBW work. It involved flying from the flight engineer's seat in a heavily modified DC-8 simulator. He was interested in; "What would you do if this or that failed, and how could his software compensate for a failure - neat stuff. . . <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
