Auto Credit Based on RadarJamJar's Control moment gyroscope cube

Credit to @RadarJamJar for the suburb gyroscope.
This ship uses two gyroscopes and can be used for naval manoeuvres (it floats).

Thrust at around 90% to hover, 100% for a little upward movement.
VTOL up to raise the legs.

Use TRIM to adjust the side thrusters, these can be used to slow down, speed up or as trim during fast flight.

AG1 for slow forward,
AG2 faster forward.
AG3 super fast.

AG4 to open weapons bay.
AG5 and 6 for bombs,
AG7 for missiles.

Plus guns (including the new pop-out gun)!

Note: If you approach a windmill during hover (ie. at the top of the windmill) at less than 50mph, you can nudge it with the nose of the craft and push it over...
