Model description and updates:
2003/05/22 - First release: v1-nl
* The flight model is based largely on data from Nelson's book (see
the aircraft.dat file for details).
* Model includes:
- A SAS has been added in roll, pitch and yaw which probably closely
approximates the CSS model of the real A4.
- Includes nonlinear aero effects like stall
- Flaps are modeled and actuated via the '[' and ']' keys
- Gear is modeled and actuated via the 'g' key
