[ IMPORTANT ]

Due to a current SL viewer bug with animesh, warp points will sometimes make the vehicle look bad after a warp. It's jarring and frankly untenable.
Until the viewer developers fix this bug, there's unfortunately nothing I can do. Once LL fixes this, however, the bug will no longer happen and crossings will work flawlessly.
That being said, it is just a visual glitch, it still functions as it should.

Flies very smoothly and is totally worth the money! Thank you for the great customer service Jessicatz! I have been very satisfied with other products from Solares and with this Shuttle thats not any less \o/ Recommended!

Ok, so first off this is a great toy for making a more immersive feature to moving around your sim or plot rather than boring old teleports everywhere, and without having something people can get in and fly and then just abandon somewhere. It isn't the easiest to set up for a novice but even with that said it's not all that hard either once you know what you're doing. What's more is that if you do have any difficulties, Jessicatz will do her level best to help (which she did with this particular numpty when he couldn't get it set up), and have you up and running (flying!) in no time. Can't say fairer than that when it comes to customer service. She even fixed my elevators that she'd scripted for someone else while she was here!!! On the whole a brilliant experience and something I think visitors to my station are going to love as well. A+.

This is a really fun addition to a big parcel or if you have platforms/skyboxes. It looks and behaves really cool! I was a bit confused over the warp up to a skybox, but Jessicatz came and showed me. So, also great customer support!
I don't even have a modern/sci fi setting and I still love it! Just so much fun and looks cool! Highly recommend it =)
