Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of that - thanks

That's pretty cool. However I have a problem figuring out what the
Laplace plane works like. I still don't feel it naturally. Maybe I
should go and look at the transfer functions for some basic blocks,
that could help make it easier. I wonder what the best things would be
to start with.

Control theory is a whole discipline :) What specifically do you recommend?

Hope so! :)
