This %100 mesh, paint-able 1930's model JU-52/3m Airliner has an advanced physics flight engine and performs like a real aircraft. Painstaking efforts were put into the creation of this plane to make it not only realistic, but fun to fly and reliable. This airliner comes complete with the following features:
• Easy to use paint and color system.
• Fully modifiable, some scripts in the plane are full perm. Many options can be changed using menus.
• Remote flying ability via HUD. Fly it from any seat or even standing on the ground.
• Includes 4 liveries that can be easily changed by chat-command (Lufthansa, Woodland Camo, German Officer / Immelmann II and Art Deco)
• Realistic flight physics and stalling.
• Working and usable dashboard instruments, switches and levers. Fly the plane in mouselook entirely or in third person.
• Seats 15 (pilot + 14 passengers).
• Detailed, shadowed interior with script-controlled bed.
• Celestial dome seat in the rear for a unique flying experience.
• Working flaps, elevators, ailerons, rudder, landing gear, doors lights, animated wheels and much more.
• Thoroughly tested for reliability, bugs, and usability.
• Scripted to handle region crossings well, even with passengers aboard.
• Dual-control cockpit controls: Share controls with your copilot if you choose and fly at the same time (not either-or).
• Guest, Group and Owner only pilot modes. Put your JU-52 on a rezzer if you wish for your airport guests or let a friend fly solo.
• "Boarding Mode" option completely locks the cockpit seats so passengers will take a rear seat by default when boarding the aircraft.
• Lock-able co-pilot seat.
• Optional fuel system with realistic fuel consumption.
• Advanced HUD can control plane from any seat or the ground using your mouse only. HUD includes optional instruments tied to the plane, not your avatar.
• HUD Tracks your landing scores (with averages), flight times and total hours flown.
• Intuitive chat-commands. The plane understands a command-set from a variety of manufacturers, not just CheerMaster commands.
• Dynamic braking on ground, air-braking in air.
CheerMaster is proud to present this plane to you and we have spent tedious hours making sure it's a reliable product that handles region crossings well. This plane runs on one 0.5 second timer which helps it to cross regions without "crashing" and makes the plane low-lag compared to other planes running on timers with 20 to 100 times that frequency rate (or more), and many with multiple timers even . Special attention was paid to keeping it a one, low-frequency timer plane so that it does not have issues with region crossings that many other planes can have.
If you hate how your camera messes up on region crossings or from passengers falling out or standing then this plane won't further infuriate you. The CheerMaster JU-52 was made to gracefully handle issues and errors caused by slow passenger connections and bad region crossings. Why ignore errors and situations you know are going to arise? We didn't, we want the plane to handle any adverse situations as gracefully as possible.
This plane banks and stalls similar to planes you may have flown in Grand Theft Auto or other games and was modeled to simulate games with this high-level of physics response. While this is a rather large aircraft you'll find it is fun to perform simple stunts while flying.
This plane has a detailed cockpit with functional instruments, lights, levers and switches that are easily seen in mouselook.You can completely control the plane in mouselook from takeoff to landing and without using the HUD if you wish, though it is hard to see over the dash in any tail-dragger when on the ground including this one.
Customize it! In addition to an easy-to-use paint and color system, this plane is modifiable and the plane can be controlled by script or Navigation HUD if interfaced. Detailed instructions on how to use the plane's program interface are included with the aircraft and you are encouraged to make this plane your own! Most of the scripts in this plane are full-perm (not the main flight engine) and can be tailored to your preferences or used as examples to create your own aircraft.
You will get free updates on this vehicle for life, including the military version with VICE and rear gunner, and a civilian and military version with floats when released.

Nothing short of Awesome!
Thanks for brings us technically excellent wonderful aircraft at affordable prices!
Great plane, definitely value for money!
Even though it's a beta-version, and even though I'm a notorious 'bug detector', I didn't find anything wrong with this plane.....it flies wonderfully and all parts and features work fine. It takes a while to figure out how to land it perfectly by using throttle and flaps rather than pitch, so some flying experience helps (and some space on the runway too, lol)...but a friend of mine who's still new to flying in SL manages to land this plane quite well too! I love how this plane handles exactly as you may expect from a heavy vintage aircraft with a wing span of more than 30 meters. As realistic as possible in SL.Furthermore, the engine sounds are great, it's well built, and the paint system is easy to use, giving you the opportunity to make it look any way you want. Even if the plane would have cost twice as much, it still would have been value for money. I assure you you won't regret adding this vintage beauty to your collection! Buy it...you know you want to!
A great casual experience
Laid back, easy flier. Just enough buttons and features to create a fantastically immersive experience. I'm a new fan of Cheermaster products! Love the way this plane looks and sounds in every way.
Needs improvement
The aircraft has a in my opinion fairly high Land Impact of 142 Prims. I find it very strange that the aircraft consists of objects made by 19 different creators. The significant parts of this aircraft show Daven Naidoo as the creator. Even stranger is the fact that the front fuselage has 10 hidden passenger seats + 2 hidden seats in the cockpit (Daven Naidoo's version of the seats), and this part only has 1 texture face, therefore making it impossible to apply shine without making the hidden seats visible. The centre motor has LOD issues, while parts of the aircraft that really don't need to be visible from a distance are LOD stable.
The aircraft contains 35 scripts which at least have been limited in simulator memory usage. The HUD offers additional functions using script dialogs, which don't perform as expected. The dialog for the flaps : clicking up will not raise the flaps, but instead you end up in the menu for seat adjustment. The dialog for Auto Cameras : clicking Landing will not disable the landing camera but activate landing lights instead. The flaps can be lowered or raised over the regular HUD buttons.
The aircraft flies acceptably but the sounds could have a bit more variation at different engine speeds. Due to various reasons mentioned above I can unfortunately not give 5 stars.
Amazed
If you don't like old fashion planes you better don't buy this one but if you looking for a plane which is user friendly, not loaded with tons of buttons, not have a complete bookwork with instruction how it flies but still have everything a plane needs, and if you have a low budget, then this is the plane for you.
Oh, did i also mention this plane have also groupmode/everyone and is mod which makes it fun to try out what you can do with it?
This oldaged avie is my alt which is a old fashion guy with a old fashion look and now with a plane that fits with it :-)
Got a comment what a old fashion plane this JU-52 was but just asked if that person did look at me and saw my name :-D
Anyway, this plane flies better is bigger and is way cheaper then the plane that person bought for 5500L$, so who have the big smile here without a empty wallet?
As last, i like to thank Christi for the great job she done with this one and looking forward to other creations like that.
Oh, i also tried that ultra lite, flies as good as well and looks better then my sl wheelchair :-D
For that price, I was very please.
The interior had some nice detail but the one small thing that I really liked was the engine startup and idle. From the sound and visual of the blades starting up to idle I loved it!
