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:

Great Fun and Performance...
Fun and easy to fly.. Great balance of responsiveness and smooth, predictable controls... Nice features.. Recommended :)
Fun!
Super fun little aircraft to fly. Reacts like you would expect it from an ultralight, i.e. very fast, which can be a challenge. I've been flying this over the Fruit Islands atoll, and with a little practice you can land is almost anywhere. Great addition to my fleet.
Ton of fun
This thing is a ton of fun to just take a quick flight. Handles well, and pretty stable. I've flown it both short and long distances and it hasn't disappointed me yet. The only thing i would love to see is it stay aloft at slower speeds like a real ultralight would.
Absolutely fantastic ultralight
This is an excellent product for new aviators in SL. It's extremely easy to fly. It crosses sims better than any other plane I own. The scripts are clearly highly optimized for sim crossings. Even sim corners don't faze this plane. The delay upon entering a new sim is barely noticeable. That is wonderful, and a huge plus for long flights. The HUD is very well built and it even tucks away to the right when not in use! Very convenient. The flight simulation is very good, very forgiving and easy to understand. It stalls well and recovers easily. You can even get inverted! Always a plus. The flight dynamics are well adapted to the SL environment. It's not a highly accurate simulation of real flight, in that you can perform maneuvers that would not be possible in RL. So what? It's fun as can be. It even has rudder controls (shift left or right) but the model has no rudder. Again... so?
Seasoned SL aviators will not be disappointed - while this bird is nowhere near as challenging as some, it's perfect for casual flights and sightseeing. The default, autocam mode is useful and changes the cam position when taking off and landing. The autocam mode can be turned off and there are multiple cam settings available from the menu. Cam 3 provides an excellent far back wide view, perfect for sightseeing. The option to disengage the fuel consumption is very much appreciated for long flights. Unlike some products, this ultralight can be flown without the HUD with no issues. The HUD has many features and is very responsive.
The nav lights are reversed. This is an easy fix - just recolor them to the opposite of their out-of-the-box set up and you're done. This bird is modifiable, allowing for extensive re-texturing. Original textures are included in a notecard for manipulation in PS. The shadow prim can be unlinked and deleted if desired. Very useful. This is an excellent product, well scripted and very easy to fly. You will not be disappointed.
Engine putters wings lift and on she flies !
Someday we will know, where the pilots go
When their work on earth is through.
Where the air is clean, and the engines gleam,
And the skies are always blue.
They have flown alone, with the engine's moan,
As they sweat the great beyond,
And they take delight, at the awesome sight
of the world spread far and yon.
Yet not alone, for above the moan, when the earth is
out of sight,
As they make their stand, He takes their hand,
and guides them through the night.
How near to God are these men of sod,
Who step near death's last door?
Oh, these men are real, not made of steel,
But He knows who goes before,
And how they live, and love and are beloved,
But their love is most for air.
And with death about, they will still fly out,
And leave their troubles there.
He knows these things, of men with wings,
And He knows they are surely true.
And He will give a hand, to such a man
'Cause He's a pilot too.
