A basic flight system with altitude maintainence capabilities. Throttle to activate upward engines.

Basic controls:
VTOL up to ascend
VTOL down to descend.
Keep VTOL at center to hold altitude.
Yaw and Pitch for nonvertical motion.
Trim to change pitch orientation.

There is a basic “smoothing” feature for holding altitude. Sometimes it doesn’t work too well. To stop shaking, bring the throttle down to 50% for a bit.
