This led to the surprising (to me anyway) behavior where the Sky Dart sitting on the ground could be rolled over on its side by using the RCS thrusters only. The counter-torque that would be provided by the landing gear was negligible. I felt this error was serious enough to warrant spending some time back porting the changes into the demo code and re-releasing.
