Look/Aim = ROLL | Steer = YAW. This is because the small air thrusters only fire with pitch and yaw. They are used here to reduce drifting while turning, and can aid in docking. 40% is a good speed for first-person view.

The VTOL thruster can be turned with Pitch because I couldn't disable it from turning and had to bind it to a control. I used it here instead of a propeller for 2 reasons:
1. The propellers will stall if submersed in water
2. The model was 2x bigger than what I wanted.

The miniguns were added to give the vehicle a little more purpose, and because it reminded me of Bloodwake (Xbox) :).

Thank You.

Also, I haven't worked with fuel weight before, so it may sit funny as it runs low.. :p
