Auto Credit Based on AgDynamics's Ornithopter

tried to make this ornithopter more bird like, as well as give it take off and landing cababilities. Throttle: Controls Width of tail. when paired with Control group 4 it starts the engine, flap with yaw buttons, VTOL slider controls pitch of the tail, although regular pitch buttons will work too just use much less aggressively, TRIM slider controls the Yaw of the tail. Taking off requires full throttle and to make the tail level with the ground. hold W to build speed and once it takes off by itself flap and try keeping the plane level. Take off is indeed hard, but doable
