Vehicle Models

Looking for some example of FLYING or HOVERING vehicle models. There are a number of nodes that I'm not sure about. Everyone seems to be doing wheeled vehicles, and it's grand because TGE comes with it... However, what about us flyers?? :-)
I don't have T2, so I don't have any DTS models to play with. But, honestly, I'd rather get my hands on some MAX models so I can see setup, node placement. Something tells me that the "jet nozzle" nodes are going to be important. Possibly for thrust directions? Maybe not..
I can always just start with a simple box and work up to make it fly, however any help would be appreciated. I'm currently working on get a chopper into the game. It might be easier to make it a hover vehicle, but it might just be a cross between a hover and flying vehicle. Oddly enough, I had a fully functioning chopper working in the Q3 engine.. but, the outdoor environments SUCK in Q3. (ironically, someone pointed out to me that the interiors in TGE aren't all that great compared to Q3)
Anyhoo, if someone is interested in working with me on this who has some experience, pipe up and let me know!

As for the flying and hovering that is nothing more then scripting. If you check in the code snips you will find a couple example of flying vehicle scripts.
