* Written by Paul Riseborough 2013 to provide:

* Selectable speed or height priority modes when calculating pitch angle
* - Fallback mode when no airspeed measurement is available that
* sets throttle based on height rate demand and switches pitch angle control to
* height priority
* - Underspeed protection that demands maximum throttle and switches pitch angle control
* to speed priority mode
* - Relative ease of tuning through use of intuitive time constant, integrator and damping gains and the use
