he game controller is not managing life critical functions

oh, it doesn't control ascent and descent, angle of attack, etc? it's not used to turn or operate the craft, that's all 'done by computer'?

pfft.

bluetooth and other wireless interface protocols aren't meant for life critical applications. give me a hardwired input - even a game controller - any day when it comes to life or death shit.
