This is a little bit more complex. As an edu tool. I expect child to
discover and understand that each button is different.
But I also understand it is frustrating and to hard at some age.
I propose you that we map each button to a different action. It would
also make this board more fun.
I propose:
Left=kill
Right=reverse direction
Middle=stop
Up/Down=up/down

What do you think ?

For the parachute, it was already planned. So your doughter did confirm
the need.

Thanks for your feedback. It is appreciated.

Bruno.
