Hello and Thanks, SteamPunk Fan,
This airship was designed in January 2009 as a tribute to the 'artistic' side of Steampunk as opposed to the 'grunge' side. The anabaric helix engines do vent sparks constantly while idling. The venting of Cavorite gas is perfectly normal operation. Perhaps the designer will find a way to cloak this spillage in future designs.
The cabin windscreen is reinforced with copper gilded metal work. Views are quite nice despite protection from adverse wind and flying birds.
As sold, the craft holds 2 plus pilot. There are prims you can move if you wish to change the seating.
Captain/Owner should be seated before passengers.
!! Note !!
SL sim servers determine how well the non-physical movement works. If you find the ship will only jiggle about, try another region.

60+ prim 'Copperwing' airship
suitable for three avatars to tour Second Life
non-physic flight motivator
use arrow keys to move
pgup and pgdown to rise and fall

Special Note !!!
I owe great thanks to His Grace, Vivito Volare for his help with the non-physic motivator.
I owe great thanks to Mr Boomslang for his physic Motivator, Mr Hax for his kindness and advice (and various modifications to the motivator script) and to Miss Munro for inspiration, genius and encouragement. I recommend purchases from all of these citizens. They are good people.
I have slightly modified the physic Motivator so that a "captain's bell" will sound when the Anbaric Motivator is shut down and it is safe for passengers to get on and off. This means folks can 'hear' when the Captain has shut down controls in case they do not spot the text warning.
The physic Anbaric Motivator will 'short out' if someone climbs aboard (or jumps off) while it is running. The captain will need to 'stop' the Motivator and 'start' it again for the gravimetric axis to realign properly.
I hope you enjoy the 'Copperwing'. I have left all pieces copy mod so you can experiment. Be careful with the scripts, especially while the airship engines are running.
Please make a copy of the original before you tinker. I cannot replace 'broken' sets.
Happy Flying.
Miss Ember
Very Special Note:
My thanks to the gracious Professor Vivito Volare, Duke of Caer Firnas, for his corrections and improvements of the MultiMove motivator product that drives the Copperwing. You can find the MultiMove on Xstreet SL.
Without his help I could not have brought the product to sale. While the MultiMove is a nice product, I am not knowledgeble enough to polish such a wonder. Please do not tinker with the scripts.
