You must say "you have control" and the reply "I have control" This will be recorded on the black box recorder.

You be aware of a prototype called the F200 which was built in 1996 which also had a joystick control. I've had 1 of the 2 prototypes in my workshop and its a bizarre set up.

Here is a video of it in action.
