Auto Credit Based on SargeATM's Lateral Correction using Fins
Makes lateral corrections using fins on descent to get directly over target. This code does the necessary linear algebra gymnastics to map the correct fins to the lateral directions. Should still work if roll axis is slightly off from vertical. For anything past 5-10 degrees, I'm not sure what will happen. If you find out, let us know in the comments. Thanks.

Interesting, in my rocket I used atan2 for two dot operations, one of vectors is the necessary aiming vector, the other is one of the axes of the rocket (pitch, roll or yaw axis),then the deflection of the fins will be proportional to the projection of the aiming vector on the axis of the rocket
