Plane: fixed the pitch control in transition for tilt rotors

this fixes an issue found by Henry. If level transition is set when
transitioning to FBWA from a Q mode, and the pilot pulls back on the
pitch stick to demand pitch up then the plane would go into a
high-alpha flight state with low vertical throttle so it would not
climb, resulting in it never getting past airspeed wait state
