TH, the boys and girls on SAR machines will no doubt fill you in on their new kit.

Me? I just use the Autohover in the 4-axis to demonstrate to anyone interested that the last bastion of Manual Control has finally fallen. It used to be that only the SAR people had automation at anything approaching the hover and we regular drivers were still obliged to take control at the end and keep the aircraft motionless in the air with skill and aplomb!!

But not anymore!!! I wouldn't mind but the bugger makes quite a good fist of it even when well off the wind!!!
