This is a mesh based product for Second Life. It has some basic differences from Prim based products. Mesh items usually have higher levels of detail at lower prim counts than Second Life prims. With this advantage the models tend to look more realistic and still maintain a low prim count under the land usage count. Due to this you can have nicer looking products without affecting the prims you are allowed for your land.
The Scripts are Licensed from Real Flight.
New features include high altitude flight, Auto-Rotate, Precision Mouse Steering mode, flared landings, Guest mode and much more.
This model is loosely based on the real life but is not a representation of a real life product nor does it intend to be a copy of any real product. It is a fictional vehicle for entertainment use only.
Flight Scripting is licensed from Real Flight to give a superior flight experience to the end user. This flight script has been upgraded to work with Convex Hull models and is very easy on Second Life servers to provide a low lag experience to it's users. More control is available through this flight system than most scripts for vehicles in Second Life.

Painting and coloring;
You can drop new textures on the various outer body parts to change textures. Coloring can also be easily changed using the select face in the edit panel. Note this should be done only by experienced editors in Second Life. Animate Works takes no responsibility for any textured Helicopters which the user has modified. So please be sure you only edit a copy of the helicopter. A layered Photoshop template is available as a guide to painting. We recommend that you use it. If you do not have Photoshop then you can use other software that can read Photoshop files. The supplied Template is a black and white only texture which makes it easy to use and combine with face colors in Second Life. If you use a color template instead then it is recommended to use a white face color in Second Life so that you colors are not mixed. Animate Works also is not here to teach Photoshop or other editing tools. Skill Levels in this style of program is user provided and your results will determine how well your final model will look.

Best Helicopter in my Inventory!
I have many helicopters in my inventory and this by far is the best !! Very detailed and realistic looking, real sounds, flight dynamics are incredible, super smooth sim crossings. I don't even notice some of the sim crossings. If you want the most realistic and best flying helicopter in SL then this is the one to get. Looking forward to other Helicopters by this builder. Excellent build, very well done.
Extremely realistic
Forget about all other helicopter flying scripts. This chopper flies like a charm. Extremely well responsive. Fells like you are sitting in a cockpit and manipulate the collective and cyclic levers by yourself. Unlike all other typical SL edgy flying scripts, this feels like flying a real machine.
A very good attention to detail. The downside is that it has a 145 land impact, so can't be rezzed and kept on any land without paying a prim price. But I'd rather delete some other objects and keep the chopper on the helipad.
Well done, Sal. I hope you'll entertain us with other realistic designs!
