Auto Credit Based on CharAznable's Lightning V4

Major changes to weight distribution. Landing gear reworked, from quad to tripod. Rear section thinned out quite a bit. Wing lights remounted. All of these changes has brought the Center of Mass forward a ways. 30% power needed for level flight. Still flies very well.
