I did not think about it. You can tune your aicraft one day with a 
standard RC, and then use a joystick to operate it. However, it is also 
possible to have a "MANUAL in AUTO2" mode, the stabilisation loop just 
has to be disabled (fw_h_ctl.c:221). We have to check that the command 
rate and the latency which can be handled by the modem is correct for 
manual flight. Soon ...
