To correct a few misstatements: The boat’s first flight was in the fall of 1992. At that time, small digital computers were not fast enough serve as a flight computer. From its first flight through 2008 it was flown by an analog computer controlling roll with a mechanical height control system. In 2008 the control system was modernized. The analog computer and mechanical height control were replaced by a digital computer (sbc0489), cockpit display, 2 additional servo valves, and an electronic height control system.
