Great GTFO setup & Modern Looks, flying scripts needs work.
After reading the reviews, I don't feel so bad about the difficulties I'm having with it. I really like the modern looks, the GTFO compatibility, the cargo loading and unloading that comes with it, you can change the side logo for your own. The active buttons and controls are neat, though I do have to use a card to remember all commands. I'm still learning to fly it comfortably. From the previous reviews, I know know it's top speed is what it does.
The company only has one product, so it should be an issue to focus on the machine and scripts. Get the first one right and working for the customers, then the next one will get more fanfare.

So much good, but needs a lot of work.
First, I'd like to say, seeing this thing on occasion when I usually fly out of it got me excited. Futuristic aircraft are extremely rare in SL, which is sad. Now, on to some pressing matters. This thing at any normal flight cealing is fun and weighty as it should be. Its a bit slow though, full throttle you're barely faster than a piston engine aircraft, which is nice for cruising. Though that being said it'd be nice if it were a bit faster. Second, for some odd reason it likes to continuously give you a pop up for inputs on every crossing. Not sure if this has to do with me flying with a friend but it needs to be fixed. You also get a script error about trying to trigger animations as well after a certain amount of crossings.
I do hope that they go back and rework this thing, as it has lots of potential. It could use improvements to the model such as moving flight surfaces while in atmosphere. Some other sound effects here and there such as for the gear and door. But all n all, for what you get currently, I'd say the price is a bit steep. If it were to get reworked and updated to fix certain aspects it'd be well worth it. I do not regret purchasing this thing and will continue to fly it.
