The filter parameters look like more traditional PI-parameters. Very 
nice as such.

Kalman filter processing is a bit of a different animal, but Lady 
Heather could infact poty-train a Thunderbolt into a form of 
pseudo-Kalman filter mode by adjusting the filter parameters towards a 
slower loop as things settle down.

Cheers,
