Grumman TBF Avenger Torpedo Bomber 1.2 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium.
To trim it to fly well both with and without payload is a chore so some compromises had to be made but it\s not too bad.

My take on the Grumman TBF Avenger / General Motors TBM Avenger torpedo bomber.
It's an approximation and definitely not a 1:1 replica.
It's a bit rough around the edges in places and some areas are what they are; take it or leave it I guess. :)

* As always in Brick Rigs the torpedo works, but far from always. To have the best chance of a good torpedo release go low (<10 metres) and slow (180-220 kph), nose up slightly and drop.
The torpedo engine starts after 2 seconds (the Distance to ground sensor only detects the bottom, not the water surface sadly so it has to be on a timer) and burns for about 70 seconds before the torpedo self-destructs after 85 seconds.

** The wings didn't actually fold like this but were rotated and then folded back along the fuselage, but sadly using double actuators (one to rotate and one to fold) makes the wings very floppy in the game and is not a viable solution, so this solution will have to do.
