Flying Vehicle

I am having trouble with getting a flying vehicle operating. The vehicle that i have created is a space shuttle and I need it to be able to:
1. Take off and land vertically like a helicopter.
2. Hover.
3. Fly like a jet after take off.

I uset this resouce to create my vehicle. tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/DTS/3dsmax/Creating_a_Simple_Flying_Vehicle
I added my object to the resource and when i mount the player in the ship it will not move. I am using the same key bindings that I use for the wheeled vehicles in my game but the flying vehicle will not move. If I shoot at the vehicle it will move and the physics seem to working fine.

Can someone help advise what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
