There is provided a transmitter for facilitating control of a flying object including an elevation control lever 22 for controlling a flight height of a helicopter 1, a cover 24 through which the elevation control lever 22 passes via an opening 26, a step 27 formed on an edge of the opening 26, and a rotation member 28, which rotates, disposed to a backside of the cover 24, where apart of the cover 24 is formed into a curved surface which overlaps a curved surface of the rotation member 28, and rotational speeds of motors 11, 12 internally mounted on the helicopter 1 are set corresponding to the step 27.

A variable track joystick device includes a support housing, a joystick movable with respect to the support housing, and a joystick guidance mechanism controllable to selectively confine joystick movement to a predetermined track pattern. During operation of the variable joystick device, a controller determines when the variable track joystick device is placed in a selected one of (i) a first mode in which joystick movement controls the first work vehicle function and (ii) a second mode in which joystick movement controls the second work vehicle function. The controller further commands the joystick guidance mechanism to restrict joystick movement to the predetermined track pattern when the joystick device is placed in the first mode, while permitting joystick movement outside of the predetermined track pattern when the joystick device is placed in the second mode.

An operator control system for a work vehicle having at least one work vehicle actuator and at least one removable attachment with at least one attachment actuator. The operator control system comprises an operator control interface. At least one control device is coupled to the operator control interface. The control device is configured to control at least one of the work vehicle actuator and the attachment actuator. A shift device is configured to shift the control device from controlling at least one of the work vehicle actuator and the attachment actuator to the other of the at least one of the work vehicle actuator and the attachment actuator.

A single lever system including a condition cable controlling mechanism configured for controlling adjustment of a condition cable, a power cable controlling mechanism configured for controlling adjustment of a power cable, and a single lever coupled to the condition cable controlling mechanism and to the power cable controlling mechanism. The condition cable controlling mechanism prevents adjustment of the condition cable when the lever is controlling adjustment of the power cable. The power cable controlling mechanism prevents adjustment of the power cable when the lever is controlling adjustment of the condition cable.
