I never thought about the kill switch as a requirement. But I guess it's 
safer and I might loose fewer props.

I guess one could get quite confused with that.

Using the two way switch for switching between MANUAL and AUTO2 seems 
pretty feasible. If I need AUTO1 I could ask the co-pilot on the 
computer to enable that.


Still. I'm not sure how I would define that in the config file.
