  * Hover thrust

  * Vertical thrust required to hover.
+ * This value is mapped to center stick for manual throttle control.
+ * With this value set to the thrust required to hover, transition
+ * from manual to ALTCTL mode while hovering will occur with the
+ * throttle stick near center, which is then interpreted as (near)
+ * zero demand for vertical speed.
