The 150EX Ultralight by CheerMaster is a 100% mesh, top of the line aircraft and has all the features and functionality of larger planes of twice the cost or more. Though this aircraft has fully working instruments, lights and switches for mouselook pilots, it was specifically made to be low-lag and high performing. It's low prim, 5 script design makes the crossing duration into new regions in under 1 second and is as reliable, or more reliable than any other plane on Second Life you may have flown before as a result. This fun to fly, light aircraft has the following features:
• Guest Rezzer Included (Rezzer + Plane = 1 Prim Land Impact!)
• Advanced Flight Physics
• Fully Animated Control Surfaces and Wheels
• Full Function Instrument Panel with Working Guages, Lights and Switches
• Grayscale Textured and Mod/Easily Tintable
• Textures Included
• Intuitive HUD with Remote Control Flying Capability
• Copilot Mode
• Guest, Group or Owner Only Security Modes
• Lockable Copilot's Seat
• Automatic Camera System (Optional)
• Landing Score System with Flight Time Tracking
• CheerMaster Affiliate Vendors Included! (Earn %35 From Each Sale)
This is an advanced plane and while it is easy to get started flying your 150EX Ultralight, mastering it and getting good landing scores will take a little time and practice especially for beginners. This plane stalls realistically, gains speed when pitched down, loses speed when pitched up, and has realistic acceleration and deceleration times. It takes a pilot with average to above average flying skills to control it proficiently, and is fun to practice landings particularly as well as simple stunts by stalling the aircraft.
While this is a small plane it took just as long or longer to create as any full-sized plane and every attention to detail was given to it's functionality and performance. CheerMaster would like to thank the following Developers and Testers for their contribution to this project:

awesome ultralight
i absolutely love this plane and i could not be happier with it. i have so many planes in my inventory that i'll never fly again and this is not one of them, i'll likely fly this daily for the rest of my time on sl as its very simple and crosses regions great, so fast i wasn't sure it had happened, lol. great sounds by whitewolf mumfuzz and the guages switches and textures look great. i spent an hour customizing mine (thank you for making it mod) and had a great time doing it and now it looks amazing! great job on the flight characteristics and handling, it's really a joy to fly. i will definitely buy from this person again as i have both of their planes to date and they're both just brilliant. bravo! (stands and claps)
Nice little aircraft. Superbly made.
Thank you so much Cheermaster for making planes that are both realistic and enjoyable to fly, I know that must be a hard combination to achieve, but you've totally done it twice now with the JU-52 and now with this little gem. i really like flying this around slowly in mouselook and enjoying the scenery, the first person view on this is beynd amazing for pilot and copilot. If you are a plane creator, please buy this plane to see how a plane should fly and how a hud is supposed to work, the aviation community will be a better place for it.
wow!!!
I LOVE this little airplane! Totally a blast to fly, and excellent interactive instrument panel among other things. I really was not expecting much from an ultralight but this really is a high-quality aircraft and I just want to say "Great job!". so..... GREAT JOB!!!! lol.
Nice Plane!!!!
Wow I rarely write reviews but had to write one after seeing the prior reviewer's 2 star rating n this plane as it's one of my favorite planes and flies fantastically so I had to get my 2 cents in! I'm thinking maybe they either had a bad day or just wanted to let people know they fly irl as this plane is one of the most fun to fly, most realistic (physics-wise) planes on SL and is my new go to plane. The ultralight banks wonderfully and even has Shift+ Rudder steering, it gains airspeed when diving and loses airspeed when climbing, it stalls realistically (super fun to do btw), it has a fantastic hud and you can even totally fly the plane with your mouse using the hud's remote control window thingy. If you don't have this plane yet you're truly missing out on a great flying experience. Nice work development team!
At least it was cheap?
I was tempted to give it 1 star, but I'm not here to hurt anyone...my goal with reviews is to save fellow gridsters time and money. I bought this because of the comment in a prior review, "first life flyers will probably love it". I'm a first life flyer, licensed with a couple decades of experience in light aircraft...152's, 172's, various ultralights, hang-gliders, owned a Sadler Vampire rigged for aero. This plane doesn't remind me of anything rl I've ever left seated. To me the scripting seems very basic and pretty much flies like a car drives. Having said that, I think non-rl fliers will very much enjoy this plane and hey, you can't beat the price, but for me I'm afraid it will be yet another dust collector.

Excellent Script!
The dihedral characteristics can't be beat: you bank and it stays banked for a lonnng time.
It flies level in cruise without the constant loss of altitude so many builders think is realistic (but is not).
The nose can be "held off" with ease on approach to landing.
It stalls sweetly and you can easily learn to use it to your advantage.
The working instruments are a huge plus if you like to fly "first person" and look around at the scenery.
Moddable! (yaay)
It has no rudder (or rudder pedals) but the turns are well co-ordinated. (And besides, the Aero Coupe and some trikes are configured this way.)
The landing gear are the size of bicycle tires, but hey, why not?
The "first life" hassle of running out of fuel is an option you can choose or (thankfully) bypass.
The one truly lame feature it has ("graded" landings) can be avoided by not using the hud.
I could go on, but I'll just say this: If you have first life flying experience you will probably love this plane.
