Updated SBS Gryphon Mk.II Rescue Helicopter.

- winches further apart and lifted the helicopter up by one square.
- Added Small Lower Hatch to Cargo Bay to Enable Entrance and Exit for bottom of Helicopter
- Increase the clearance height of the Helicopter allowed me to increase the size of Fuel Tanks which are now 8500+ per side

Initial Implementation of SBS Gryphon Mk.II Rescue Helicopter WIP to the Workshop.

AUTOPILOT:
There are two AP modes selectable from a panel to the left of the pilot:
SP - Single Point
FP - Flight Plan

SP will fly to the WP entered in to the Active Slot number, come to a stop and then turn off AP.

FP will fly automatically from WP to WP in sequence until it reaches a WP that has been defined as the Last Leg (set using a button in the AP Entry Panel area). When the Helicopter reaches the WP defined on the Last Leg it will come to a stop and automatically turn off AP (like in SP). NOTE: For SP every WP is considered to be Last Leg.

As part of the FP system I added another optional setting condition: "Maintain Transit Speed". When the toggle button is on any WP submited will inherit the "Maintain Transit Speed" request condition. The optional setting will specify that the Helicopter will not slow down at the WP but continue to travel at Transit speed (50 m/s). However unless the next WP is absolutely inline the Helicopter may need to slow down if it has to make a course correction. It will not be a complete stop and the chopper will inherit speed from the last leg.

Note: In order to run a FP from end-to-end make sure to cycle the Active Slot Number back to the first slot in the Plan before you Engage the AP. FP runs from WP Slot to WP slot in increasing order based on the slot number. When you hit "Start Autopilot Program" it will start at the Active Slot that is currently specified.
