ACV-34 Lutra (Cult of The Giant Space Otter Air Force)

Description
This is a survival ready aircraft made to go with my personal in-game faction, Cult of the Giant Space Otter.
It's a high altitude (as far as the game is concerned) gunship. Fly in a circle and let your buddies or the AI rain hell.
Inspired by a disgusting combination of AC-130 gunship and the ridiculous quad-rotor VTOL from Tom Clancy's: Endwar game

The only mods you should need for this is the helicopter/airplane rotors and aerodynamic wings.

Features:
- spacious cargo bay with a connector for storing a smaller craft for exploration or resource transport
- one large and one medium cargo container, and a survival kit
- 3 custom turrets (gatling, auto cannon and assault cannon), with safety limits on the rotors to prevent from turning upside down. (Unrelated, but I can't seem to get the autocannon to fire reliably. Assault cannons and even gatling guns fire from 1km+ but the autocannon refuses to shoot unless you're within 700-800m and even then its spotty)
- auto cannon tail gun
- Forward facing Heavy weapons battery
- Gunner cockpit and an additional station on the interior behind the cockpits fully set up for controlling the turrets
- Belly and walls made of two layers of heavy armor, dorsal area made of light armor
- cool V tail fins that don't actually do anything
- working cargo ramp that sits flush (as I could get it) with the fuselage
- Designed by someone with 6 years of VTOL rotary-wing aircraft maintenance experience IRL, but no patience to get the VTOL script to work in-game
