• defaults to 1st person mouselook steering for RL feel
(but can exit mouselook and fly with WASD or arrow keys)
• not just a war bird, it is for fun/travel and also is a great race bird
• very careful & realistic design based on RL peregrine
• wings slowly flap+flex up+down, sometimes level glide
(legs+feet rise when flying, lower when landed and wings fold)

NEW: v1.10
- now has a CRUISE mode,
- also while in mouselook you can hot-key to only use mouse-aim for weapons
and then hot-key toggle back to mouselook steering.
- has a hot-key to toggle between AVATAR-AEROPLANE E+C key behavior
- and yes, as always, you can also fly and steer it outside of mouselook.

A truly beautiful bird, and an absolute joy to fly
- makes an airplane seem totally "boring"
- NOTE: has interface to ourTarn-Race system

You can take one or two friends for a ride
- and/or they can be combat warriors

If you can rez a bird, and then a friend can fly/pilot it !!
( but when a non-owner pilot stands, that bird copy is deleted )

Because they are very low-prim, you can leave them out for display.

An Elegant bird

I myself happen to collect a few tarns and this has to be the most different and unique in terms of flying. It's very realistic and handles pretty well once you understand its mechanics. Certainly a must have for tarn enthusiasts. Even if you just want a simple bird to fly this one here would be perfect. My only suggestion is add a cruise control on it and you got a very regal creature to impress your friends with. The landing is a nice touch too with the legs sticking out as you descend. Will recommend for anyone looking for a feathered friend to fly on.

This has to be the finest and prettiest flying, rideable tarn we've seen in all SL. So realistic looking with its spooky eyes, the falcon appearance and its wings flap when it flies, so very realistic. In addition it even emits cool realistic sounds. The tarn can also be coloured, mine is blonde *smiles* The bird can be manouvered using mouselook, arrows or letter keys. Even i figured out how, in no time *smiles*. If your searching for an awesome, realistic tarn, this is the one! We have one on Gorean Campus, so you welcome to drop by and check it out and take it for a test drive *giggles* Well wishes.

Great looking Tarn

This is gorgeous to look at and so easy and smooth to use. It has gently flapping wings that are almost soothing. The mouse look use function is great too. It is highly manoeuvrable for tight turns and easy to glide, take off and land, even for a novice user like me. I highly recommend it.
