    API Question Set Center Of Pressure when key is pressed

    I'm a total newbie to C++ and the API, so please excuse my ignorance:) I'm designing a tailsitter rocket (pain to land, I must say). So, to assist with keeping the nose vertical, I would like to implement a system that: Sets the COP when a key is pressed (K to shift forward, M for aft)...
