Thanks for the kudos.
The minifig isn’t on any kind of rotating chair. The craft was designed so that
he is standing when in the container handling orientation. As the design neared
completion, I noticed that it looked pretty cool turned 90 degrees, and the
minifig could sit in the cockpit in that orientation. Standing, he attaches to
studs on the floor; sitting he wedges in between the ceiling/computer and the
yellow arch piece. twin control sticks (antenna) are duplicated for each
position. Neither position would be comfy for long durations, but when used as a
caboose, the craft would be controlled remotely from whatever vessel is at the
van.
