Grumman TBD Avenger

6,157 Chingonito  5.8 years ago

The Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway. Despite the loss of five of the six Avengers on its combat debut, it survived in service to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of World War II. Greatly modified after the war, it remained in use until the 1960s.

    @TitanIncorporated when I rotate the turret the plane also pitches and rolls as I rotate the turret

    @TitanIncorporated that’s cool how do you keep it from affecting your planes flight performance? I could make it move up and down via the trim tabs my original issue couldn’t move it left to right without crashing

    @TitanIncorporated sure it’s one of my early planes and a very small plane the rotator is bigger than that turret in this case.. but would love to see your plane
