Dandiego Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yes Mike, very close. After a year and a half it is time to move onto other projects. The F-90 has been a fun and rewarding project. Didn't know if I could pull it off, but this close to the finish line it looks like a big success to me. I wanted to build something unique for the Phoenix Nats. I plan to enter the contest but have no illusions of winning anything. It is unique,but it is no prize winner. I've been to 3 other conventions and I know how tough the competitions are. The F-90 should be done in less than 2 weeks. Maybe I can have something else ready for the convention, who knows.

Gazzas Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Dan, I really like the look of this plane. Should find quite a few admirers at the Nats even if you don't get an award. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's sad that that beautiful airframe need Jatos. Nice work, nonetheless. Gaz Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 A few more pics.... Nose probe finished. I used the bristle from a push broom for the very tip. It is flexible and wont break if you bump it. Slats and slat tracks.. Finished cockpit...ok but not great. Thats it for now, Dan Gazzas, Starfighter, Jim Barry and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Amazing piece of work! I don't think I'd have the intestinal fortitude to pull off a build like this so I tip my hat to you Sir! Cheers, Wolf Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 From nothing to Masterpiece. Incredible. Sincerely, Mark Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A real treasure, I think. The scratch building here is my favorite stuff. If I'm not mistaken, this and my Fury are one of the few completed ground up scratch builds here in a long while. They are not that hard to start but staying with it to the bitter end can really try one's soul. Congratulations! Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Wolf Thanks Wolf, I am not so sure about intestinal fortitude, it is about fun in the end. From nothing to Masterpiece. Incredible. Sincerely, Mark Thanks Mark, I have always wanted to create something unique. Almost there. A real treasure, I think. The scratch building here is my favorite stuff. If I'm not mistaken, this and my Fury are one of the few completed ground up scratch builds here in a long while. They are not that hard to start but staying with it to the bitter end can really try one's soul. Congratulations! Thanks Jim. High praise from a fellow scratchbuilder.

hamfists nz Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Should've swallowed their pride and bought a British engine..something named after a famous British river by rolls Royce..(something that developed a bit of thrust) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Absolutely spectacular, Dan. I love it! Thanks Ben. Your builds are just fantastic. Your skills, techniques and results are the absolute best I have ever seen. I have created something unique to be sure but not as nice as many others here at LSP. Hopefully my next build will be just a little bit better. The F-90 has been a great learning experience.
