Auto Credit Based on SKLV95's CHALLENGE ENDED!
Created this for the experimental aircraft challenge.
Introducing the Sparrow Amphibious Hoverplane, a high-tech seaplane/hovercraft capable of VTOL, amphibious landings, hovering and changing your vertical speed while hovering (similar to how War Thunder works). Take note the list of controls, as this plane is not the most straightforward to pilot!
AG1: Cockpit
AG2: Hover
AG3: Tail Rotor
AG4: VTOL Rotors
AG5: Gyroscope
AG7: Enables changing of vertical speed while hovering.
Custom Lever: Changes Hovering Speed (in cockpit).
Enjoy!

@bennyhhy Very good build
PS: The PID Controls were tested on my PC with physics set to high. If you experience various difficulties with the hovering not quite hovering well I found the best way to fix it is to switch off the VTOL Engines and Hover and switch it on again. (Turning it off and on does work!)
