OK, I'm a convert to the joystick theory. With no
joystick connected the plane banks to (I would guess)
between 15 and 20 degrees and stays there. With the
joystick connected the plane banks to about 80 degrees
and crashes! I'm still confused as to why this
joystick would work OK in other applications. In case
anyone can spot the problem, here's the output from
jstest:
Joystick (SAITEK CYBORG 3D USB) has 6 axes and 16
buttons. Driver version is 2.1.0.

As you can see, the value for axis 0 changes despite
the fact that I wasn't touching the joystick at the
time. I'm guessing this means a faulty joystick, but
I'd be interested in any other theories.
