Notes
Not recommended to fly without autohover - the way I tuned the flight controls is very simple and can make autohover a bit difficult to deal with, though you can cancel it out with the in-game trim controls. If you really want to fly without auto hover, set the in-game trim to this:
Roll -0.09
Pitch +0.01
Yaw -0.07
Up/Down +0.02
