P-1C Swordfish
*P-1C Swordfish*
AG 1,2,3: (Drop a sonobuoy), AG 4,5: (Drop Torpedoes) AG7: (Nav lights)
Normal controls, Yaw will also steer nose wheel for taxiing on runway.
Gameplay:
I have put beacon lights on the sonobuoys so you can see them in the water. They are designed to be dropped at low level.
Do to the ordnance carried you will need a little trim for level flight, once you drop ordnance you can center Trim.

@RAF1 Nicely done on your end as well. I used a Saab 340 Swordfish as a rough guide so just kept the name. Its very fitting for a ASW/maritime patrol craft.
