/*
  Soaring Controller class by Samuel Tabor

  Provides a layer between the thermal centring algorithm and the main
  code for managing navigation targets, data logging, tuning parameters,
  algorithm inputs and eventually other soaring strategies such as
  speed-to-fly. AP_TECS libary used for reference.
