Bat Wings

Poked around, didn't see these anywhere on the forum. They're not "new" but they appear to be new for here.
A lot of folks suggest that my idea of a flying player model is cheating, because how would anyone be able to keep up with a player who could fly? Logically my thought was more than 1 player in that situation would by flying. Still, even with SLV & RX, people tend to view flying as "cheating" for some reason.
This is an old mutator, think I first saw it back in 2003 or thereabouts; I'd never tried it before today... someone embedded it on a map I downloaded. Basically what you do is hit whatever you have for a crouch button to get the wings flapping (may need to jump first) moving forward is no different than how you would run forward but you can't fly "down". Flapping makes you move upwards, the only way to get lower than you are is to fall; stop flapping.
Speed is about the same or a little faster than the speed of a Warlord.
Wings slightly allow some gliding and they slow falling, I dropped from the roof of the HallOfGiants and survived the fall to the bottom.
When mapping them it's necessary to skin them as the "Bat Eggs" are invisible. Unlike RX & SLV you don't seem to ever run out of fuel.
