  • Freewing 90mm T-45 Goshawk Blue Angel

    For those of you wondering why there has no progress on the Enterprise:

    So, I stalled my T-45 on landing a few months back, and punched a main through the wing, broke the nose off, and tore the nose gear out. It then took a trip up into the attic of broken planes. With Joe Nall coming up, I decided that I needed a larger EDF presence (as if the F-14, F-15, A-10, DH-112, and F-16 weren't enough), so I go up in the attic to see who was getting resurrected. SU-35? Nah, lacking a motor. F-117? Nah, never flew well. F-4? Too much work in too little time. T-45.....YES, that oughta do it!!! So the following are some pics of it in it's transformation from broken wreck to glorious Blue Angel. The paint is Rust-O-Leum Navy Blue and Sunburst Yellow, sprayed directly over the factory finish(or what was left of it) Filled with Beacon Foam Filler and Foam Finish, and Minwax Semi Gloss Spray Polyurethane. Hat tip to Callie Graphics for the awesome decals!!!!

                            I did the maiden on Saturday. Went perfectly!! Two clicks of right trim, and she was back on rails!! I thought my buddy was videoing it, but he was just taking pics of the take-off. I have them on FB, so I gotta figure out how to transfer them. Come see her in action at Joe Nall, alongside the production model of the twin 80mm Warthog!!

                                Awesome! It just makes me sad about how much I want a nice 80-90mm A4 in the Blue Angels scheme.
