So the hunt continues, seems that the Universe heard my need for a demonstration video. It does the trick. 

As I get deeper into how to accomplish all the parts needed for this new flight mode idea I have focused on the controls, rather feeling the need to see what may be available when it rounds completion rather than what is available now. Quickly realized some flaws in the idea as when I began to use my own head to try and just steer something, it seems intuitive or that it would be, but its not, well at least not for me. Especially when trying to hold my head in strange angles... Wow, if I want to climb holding your head still is kinda hard, there is going to need to be allot of tuning here, mostly figuring out range that is comfortable.

Starting to think using the muscles themselves over the position is the ticket. Sensing the intended change rather than final position is the answer (maybe). The head tracker that I am using in the tests so far is very prone to misorientation and maybe a collar device will be better. Looks like the MyoWave setup will have a use there also... Now to start mocking that up...
