     My helicopter hack that uses the mantis issue 6039 behavior to good 
advantage might do the trick for your sleigh. I'm cleaning it up and 
posting it on the osgrid scripting forum soon, look for it there or 
contact me back channel.

     This does sound similar and would create a smaller simpler test 
program to demonstrate the bug! Nobody can argue that the velocity of a 
rezzed object should be squashed into the XY plane and not allowed to 
have a Z component!
