For the last few years we have been developing the Wing 3D computer input device.
Having done quite a lot of work on Vertical Take-Off and Landing UAVs, one of the applications we are keen to explore is UAV control. - The upper part pitches, rolls, and moves vertically, and there is yaw control to offer 4-axis joystick features for manual piloting; while the lower part contains a high-end mouse sensor to allow standard precision pointer control for the mission planner.
We expect to have a small batch ready for field trials in the next few months, and are looking for people to loan the device in order to test it with their UAV system.
There are more details on the Worthington Sharpe website, and a Youtube animation explaining the features.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need further details.
All the best,
Sam

We managed a flight test with a quadcopter and have posted a video showing the Wing along with a few seconds of UAV footage here:
