Hey, this is the "PondHopper", an easy to control vintage plane from the late 1920s, early 1930s. It is modelled after a popular plane created in 1928, using automobile spare parts and some easy to get supplies.
Enjoy flying it safely all over mainland and private sims.
it has 32 prims, but due to careful crafting and good engineering the land impact is as low as 27.
land and take off in water, and on land.
permissions are copy and mod, so repaint it, add supplies, just as you like. the scripts are copy only.

Amazing fun!
This is an easy plane, flying reliably. Not a high end flight simulator but something that gives you everything to feel you're flying a plane in SL. It aged well compared to a lot of other vehicles you buy for lots more money. And if you think it's too simple, consider its RL age. 'Fly by wire' meant something entirely different in those days.
The HUD has helpful functions I'd still wish to find in all the current high end planes like indications for end-of-world sim edges and a function to let you regain controls and seats after a bad crossing. You won't get too many dials and such on the HUD, but it's enough to keep you en route and up in the air. Oh, and it really is fast and smooth on sim crossings too, the builder hasn't promised too much.
I enjoyed flying it a lot the last hours and can well live with a flight model that edges into make-believe territory now and then. :)
Badass little plane.
Only reason it's not solid 5, is because it look a minute to figure it out, when my woman sat on it with it, it sunk, had to hold it in edit until after it was started almost.
Love it!
Haha this plane has 2 scripts but works perfectly and has animated control surfaces and wheels, its awesome! It crosses into new regions so fast you don't even notice the region crossing! NICE JOB!!
woots, fun fun fun . Pure Awesomesause!
cute awesome parasol airplane. the real fun is the script, it flys pretty darn realistically for a SL airplane, climbs and decends on the throttle. this i will fly a Lot!
