!:PanTek:! - Biplane * Skull & Crossbones

An Air Pirate's dream! - This detailed crafted and fully functional airplane will scare the hell out of the surface dwellers while you are cruising the skies.

The aircraft seats two (pilot and co-pilot), comes with animated propeller and reacting rudder and elevators, has a cool sound, and is a joy to fly.

Note: this is a cruising model, - no weapons or damge scripting.

The delivered box includes two Items:

1) the !:PanTek:! - Biplane Base * REZZ Me & SIT
and
2) the !:PanTek:! - Biplane * Model

Howto Fly
----------

1) Find a spot where you are alowed to rezz objects (3 prims have to be available) and rezz the '!:PanTek:! - Biplane Base * REZZ Me & SIT' object
Two poseballs will be visible (Red: marked 'Pilot' and Green: marked 'Co-Pilot')

2) If you fly with a guest, let them sit on the 'Co-Pilot' ball FIRST! (the poseballs get invisible once the pilot sits).

3) Sit on the 'Pilot' ball yourself (right click, and choose 'Board').

4) Now wear the '!:PanTek:! - Biplane * Model' from your inventory.
All should look cool and flight ready now.

5) Type 'start' into open chat.
The propeller starts rotating with sound and the plane reacts to the left/right arrow keys, which control the rudder.

6) Increase the throttle with the 'Pg Up' key (increment by 10%) and the plane starts to taxi.
Decrease the throttle with the 'Pg Dn' key and the plane stops again.
Bring your plane into starting position.

7) Increase the throttle to 40% for take off. Control the elevators with the 'forward/backward' arrow keys ('backward' swings the elevetors upward and thus the plane, 'forward' gives the plane a downward orientation)

8) Leaving the throttle at 40% gives you a good cruising speed. If you want to make more daredevilish things (like rolls and loops) you will have to experiment with a throttle increase above 40%.

9) To land direct the plane to a landing spot, decrease the throttle appropriately, taxi on ground with 10%.
To stop the plane say 'stop' in open chat. The propeller and plane will halt.

10) Take off the plane model (right click, choose 'Detach') and stand up. Then delete the poseballs inworld. You do not have to take them back into your inventory, because they are 'copy' and you can always rezz new ones.

Adjustments
--------------

Depending on your avatar size you might want to adjust the position of the worn plane. Right click it, choose 'Edit' and use the arrows to adjust its position while wearing it.
The '!:PanTek:! - Biplane Base * REZZ Me & SIT' object is modify; you might want to rename it in your inventory to your liking.

** I hope you will have many hours of joy with this plane. The uttermost care has been put into the modeling and scripting. It has been extensively used and tested in multi-sim cross country flights, but due to periodical SL lag no vehicle can be made 100% reliable.
But even if you crash, dont worry. The plane stays attached to your avatar and you will still be wearing it the next time you log in. The poseballs might be returned to your 'Lost and Found' folder, but you rezzed copies anyway so nothing to bother about.

Happy flying, Pan.
