[PSUBS-MAILIST] tilting thrusters

[Jon Wallace]

Juergen, I will just add that in the K600 I found the forward thruster 
handles very awkwardly placed and difficult to turn upwards because they 
were not balanced laterally.  Holding the motor handles inside required 
leaning forward which made looking out the conning tower windows 
difficult.  With fixed motors and smart controllers you get tractor 
movement and that really appealed to me.
