9541e06a1e Finally fixed the flap drag issue. Drag modifications need to be based on
the amount of drag that the produced lift *would* have produced given an
unflapped air surface.  A nifty trick involving the assumption that AoA is
small works for this, and produces plausible results in the high AoA case
as well.

Also, trim for approach using the elevator-trim control, not elevator.
Just cosmetic for current planes, but future ones might have differing
implementations of trim.

5b84ae51a5 Initial revision of Andy Ross's YASim code. This is (Y)et (A)nother Flight
Dynamics (Sim)ulator.  Basically, this is a rough, first cut of a "different
take" on FDM design.  It's intended to be very simple to use,
producing reasonable results for aircraft of all sorts and sizes,
while maintaining simulation plausibility even in odd flight
conditions like spins and aerobatics.  It's at the point now where one
can actually fly the planes around.
