If he moves the stick up 3 clicks the barrel moves down a small amount and stops and stays. He wants to use is radio as a guide to his
barrel position according to his left stick. if he cant make out his barrel because his tank is too far away, he can look at his elevation (throttle)
stick and judge roughly off of that. Stick full up, barrel full down, center stick barrel level, stick full down barrel full up.

I think its a neat idea, and makes sense. I just have no clue how you make it work.

Thanks Shad......
You spot on.
I think I got a couple of ways to get'er done. Thanks to all 3 of you guys. I owe y'all a drink. I'll email it, OK
