Condor - Heavy Flying Cargo Platform

Description
This flying machine is designed for co-op cargo hauling. The craft has limited means to load itself, but is excellent when used in tandem with another player's loader. It maneuvers solely with rockets similar to a spacecraft's Reaction Control System (RCS). It has a retractable cargo platform that can house very large items.

I recommend using a controller for this craft (and for all craft in this game really) but I've added keyboard inputs as well so it can be flown that way.

The center of mass of this craft shifts as the platform is lowered and raised, meaning that with the platform fully lowered, the rockets affect the orientation of the craft (pitch and roll). The higher the platform is, the more the center of mass aligns with the center of thrust, and affects translation of the craft (moving forward/backward, left/right) rather than its orientation, which is great for lining up with an object.

After taking off Channel 5 allows you to gimbal the forward thrust rockets so that level flight can be maintained.
