HB-3 'Dragonfly' Mobile Scout

Description
I am finally back with a finished build. This time its a hybrid hexapod walker and a VTOL flyer. This concept has been floating around my head for well over a year, but only now do I have a design I'm happy with. The base purpose is to be some sort of utility craft compact enough to fit through most hangars and has the lifting capacity to haul around whatever objects it picks up from below. Eventually being expanded upon to having a decent level of scouting abilities. It features 6 compacting legs and an unfolding thrust design that allows it to be highly energy efficient.

Instructions:
- Simply toggle either flight or leg control using the 8 or 9 binds on the first hotbar.

- The Dragonfly has very simple controls with WASDQE walking support made possible by the MCS Devs, Feel free to extend the leg pistons to increase speed.

- Once activated, Flight is made possible through the Vector OS script.

- The Mech automatically detects when to open/close the canopy and toggle refueling/charging when docked

- Most other controls are self explanatory through the hotbar menus.

Warnings:
Due to various bugs and instabilities within the MCS script this mech has its turning and strafing controls mirrored. The VTOL script also needs to be recompiled when freshly pasted. Any clang issues should be reduced to a "don't hit it too hard" status.

Have fun!
