The "Curtis Torpedo 1" was a torpedo bomber developed and first flew in 1921 to meet Navy demands for a new torpedo bomber. Only one prototype was ever built. Crewed by three (Pilot, Second Pilot, Gunner) and armed with one torpedo and one defensive turret. **FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS** For take off, full throttle, and trim all the way up. pull back steady on the stick. *82* MPH is the magic number. AG-1 for torpedo release. She flies a little smoother once the torpedo is away. Thank you to @BogdanX for the torpedo setup. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!
