Yet another (rocket based) auto hover craft.
This may be useful because:
* It contains several different autohover implementations -- ranging from the simpliest (just balance thrust against gravity -- pitch and heading can be used to generate lateral velocity) to velocity and acceleration based PID solutions. Although the acceleration based PID doesn't work all that well.
* You can set a target and the rocket will attempt to translate to that target. Currently, the target is hardcoded to "Ali Base" (the runways near the Ali launch pad).
To use, set throttle to max and stage -- once it gains enough vertical speed, the hover code will start executing.
Why, yes, this would work nicely as a terminal guidance program for a rocket that lands on the DSC Drone Ship, why do you ask? :)
