Updated for pressurization

- Removed a large fluid tank (don't worry, keep reading)
- Added utility hatch in the back (button next to the seatbelt switch opens it) - this is now how you refuel
-- There are 4 ports under the hatch: RCS, FUEL, HV IN and HV OUT
-- Each has switches and you can set the fuel percentage you want to run (if you only want 40% fuel, you can set it and it will automatically disengage the fluid valve when the tanks reach that fill level)
- Added a small cargo container behind the back door
- Pressurized the plane
- Tuned PID's for a smooth ride at mach 1.5 at sea level or at 32,000km
- Tuned PID's for smooth transitions from 500 m/s vs limits to 1 m/s vs limits.
- Added a BUNCH of ailerons to the ailerons and in the rear for extra lift being the game doesn't register slope blocks for lift (will remove them when it does)
-- This makes the plane now more aerodynamically stable with a V1 of 55m/s and V2 of 65m/s (do not start V2 until at least 64m/s or you will tail strike)

All of these changes has made this craft get about 10,000km with a full tank of fuel. The biggest burner of fuel is takeoff, second is your climb. Once level, the plane now sips on fuel at near-idle.
