Piper PA-28 Cherokee Starter Plane

This Piper PA-28 Cherokee that I chose to replicate in-game is based directly on its real-life counterpart but is intended for ease of use within stormworks as an starter plane.
It functions as a general aviation trainer and was created for CaptainCockerel's first challenge in his discord. (Won in two of the three sections)
It is modified as well from the real example by including a door on both sides of the cabin and a fuel tank selection system that is easier to use, both are benefits that I saw as fit.
Includes 4 seats, 130 Knot top speed, under 20k price, and some luxuries such as a cabin heater.
