Hover UAV

Description
A self-leveling hovering machine able to haul cargo in it's base configuration. The main purpose of this thing is to be a non-baloon flying machine without use of flying blocks, because i don't like them.

Controls:
YOU NEED TO UNBIND WASD IN THE MAIN MENU
Arrow keys - tilt. It is a part of internal stabilisation mechanism so use it carefully!
D, A - yaw clockwise/counterclockwise. It has some inertia so be ready to "brake" by rotating to the opposite direction a little bit.
W, S - shift mass forwards/backwards. You pitch and gain speed rather quickly so be careful not to topple! The heavier the thing you carry, the quicker it is.
Q, E - move up/down
F - activate grabber camera. Useful to quickly get an idea of where you're facing.
V - disengage grabber.

(video shows a slightly outdated design)

v 1.1
- Made pistons double. They shift center of mass further and thus stabilise craft and move it quicker.
- Increased lift by adding 2 more blades to each rotor
- Removed hilarously useless crossbows from base config
- Decreased rotation and ascension/descension speeds

V 1.2
- Decreased propellers vertical profile by changing spinning blocks to powered wheels
- Reworked stabilization system to use rotation momentum - reaction wheels, like in spacecraft. It is now able to level out from any position
