AG1 for hover mode!

Experiment: To make a helicopter stationary hover mode
Body: Gator 2
Result: Success...? Drifts a bit, but may be good enough for turret control

Notes for use:
- It won't keep your altitude reliably (or at all). It's mainly to free up the pitch and roll controls.
- Scale doesn't matter except for the wings. Their distance from the hinge alters the performance.

May use it in the next thing. Not optimized and not field tested (i.e. against targets) yet.
