Auto Credit Based on izumoakane's Highwind

The Highwind from Final Fantasy VII. A nostalgic staple from childhoods everywhere and features a theme song to be stuck in heads for hours.

I have only improved on the build credited (@izumoakane), so upvote him if you upvote me.

Changes:
Gyro assist.
-Vtol now controls vertical Lift and movement.
-Trim is powerful and is main pitch control with pitch control itself being an assist.
Landing gear wheels removed
Changes to jet-lift-assist layout to better hide the jets.
Minor changes to the propellor fan layout to better match the game model.

Controls:
Vtol controls vertical lift.
Trim controls pitch. Use it to maintain level flight or to make drastic changes in pitch.
Pitch is less powerful and to be use to maintain pitch while turning
Roll does what it should
Yaw (main method of turning) turns craft
Throttle controls forward movement.

Thanks to @ViridiCinis for the 12 bladed propellor

Will continue to improve so look forward to more posts.
