Look .. we don't need to necessarily rediscover a wheel ..
There are some "remote control units" available on the market .. checked in
gliders already ..
check this one out
".....After spending a number of months gathering pilot input regarding
shape and determining a method for accommodating the wide range of stick
diameters, we are in the process of finalizing our design for a machine
carved wooden handle mounting the Remote Control keypad (including an
additional button for PTT) to the stick for convenient in-flight use. We
expect to have the design finalized and to make this part available through
our dealers by July 2009. Retrofitting for the Stick Handle Remote is
possible at any time after installing the ClearNav, and having the backup
handheld remote is recommended to enable use in other gliders or at home
with the power adapter.
*OR* *Remote Control, Stick Mount Module Only
$135.00*....
fromTim's Mara Wings&Wheels ......

I am sure we can spend eons debating how many button .. knobs etc ... while
we already have something working.
Just a matter of assigning proper function to it .. or BETTER YET ...
providing an INTERFACE WHEN I CAN MAP MY DESIRED FUNCTION to these buttons
... and this is what I would call PERFECT ..;-)
