Wicked cool. Always wondered what a stabliator was. Makes sense it's not pilot controlled.
In this shot it would appear it's the same as when you're taxiing a fixed wing craft, "Keep the aircraft stuck to the ground." Some squat switches would let the control surface know where it needs to be for this situation.
