NB-1A Flying fish

Here it is! My first naval bomber/flying boat!

Description

The NB-1A is a dual-purpose torpedo bomber that can also serve as a reconnaissance aircraft. It comes stock with four torpedoes, and four 250lb bombs, but they can be interchanged with whatever payload you need. It has a top speed of about 245 miles per hour, and enough range to get from Wright Isles to Snowstone and back about 3 times (thats an estimate, it still has really good range tho)

Controls

It flies like a regular bomber, except it can land on water!
Group one raises the floats
Group two tilts the engines upward to assist in water takeoff
Group three lowers the arresting hook
It has flaps
It has trim
And it has landing gear

NOTE
I had a picture of it in the water, but it wouldn't work because the site I use to post images decided it didn't want to process it

I hope you guys enjoy this, because I had a blast designing and testing it!
