History
As early as 1936 the idea of building unmanned and remotely piloted aircraft fire use in combat was proposed to the the U.S Navy. A low priority project was begun to develop such "assault drones". Such an advanced concept came to realization with the advent of several key technological advancements. Namely the wireless television camera and a radio altimeter. After some relatively unsuccessful glider projects the Interstate TDR-1 (torpedo drone 1) was developed in 1941 to carry a 2000lb load (bombs or torpedoes). Due to the low priority of this project it was to use as little strategic materials (namely metal) as possible. Thus the TDR-1 had a metal internal frame and a plywood exterior. Development was of the highest secrecy. To keep this aircraft secret construction was split up among numerous subcontractors. RCA made the camera, the engines were modest 6-cylinder air cooled Lycoming engines rated at 230hp, the wood skin was manufactured by Rudolph Wurlitzer Company (who's main gig was building pianos, and the tubular internal structure was constructed by Schwinn. Yes the TDR might be the cousin of that piano in the corner or of that bike in your garage!
For ferrying the aircraft to the combat zone the TDR was fitted with a full set of controls as well as a removable cockpit fairing. One ready to be deployed for combat, the TDR-1 took off while under the control of a fixed ground station. Its landing gear was jettisonable upon takeoff as it was assumed that it would be a one way trip for the TDR. Once airborne a modified TBF-1c (included!) would take off as well. The pilot of the TBF would assume control of the drone and pilot it until they reached "television visual range". At this moment the Drone Combat Pilot, or DCP, would lower some drapes in his fighting compartment and fly the drone into its target by means of a joystick and a grainy 5x5in display.
Despite displaying some fairly impressive accuracy statistics, the looming invasion of Japan dictated the need for brute force rather than precision strikes. Thus the TDR-1 was removed from combat service after two months.
Only one complete example survives, located in a museum in pensacpla Florida.

Fun fact- the camera and control equipment used in the tdr was also using in project "Aphrodite".
Fun fun fact- JFK's brother Joe was killed piloting a BQ-7 when it exploded midair.
Fun fun fun fact- this aircraft was so secret it only started to become widely known when a scale model was discovered in a garage sale in the 70s or 80s.

Controls
Ag-1 detaches gear (TDR) and activates radome (TBF). VTOL down to deploy radome.
Ag-2 activates/deactivates elevator control (TDR)
Ag-3 activates gyro (TDR)
Ag-4 activates gyro (TBF). Use Trim to control climb angle.
Ag-5 activates/deactivates control surfaces (TBF)
Ag-6 detaches all bombs (TDR)
Ag-7 activates engine (TBF)
Ag-8 activates engine (TDR). Activated on spawn by default.
VTOL up is air brake.

Operation Manual
This aircraft is very fun to fly in formation. To fly in formation, first throttle up to 100%, activate Ag-2 and then deactivate Ag-8. Activate Ag-1 on take off. You will not need to touch the throttle for the drone for the rest of the flight. Now activate Ag-7 and Ag-5 to fly the TBF. Once the tbf is in the air point it in the direction you want, activate Ag-4 and deactivated Ag-5 to turn on the gyro. Set the throttle to about 50% and use the air brake to regulate speed. Basically get the TBF to cruise at around 150mph or less.
