capdippe Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I've been looking around the inter webs, and a lot of F-86 E and F model aircraft have leading edge slats, is this going to be modeled later?
joey45 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Not all had lead8ing slats I belive... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

capdippe Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 you are correct, but when I research F-86F most of the old time pictures have slats installed. Just curious. Like the aircraft a lot, this will be great once the full release is out.
Stratos Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The model represented is IIRC the F-86-F35 WITHOUT slats, but the called "hard" wing. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
IvanK Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Be nice for a F variant with slats and deletion of the Manual PIP stuff ... or maybe even a Slatted E with a black pit :)
jocko417 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Be great to have an F-86F with slats. And an Orenda 14 inside. Was that out loud?
jarhead2b Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I've heard from the grapevine aka other players that this is either in the works or has been mentioned as a variant avail in future. With enough rumors and requests they have to make one duh!
IvanK Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 No we really need an RAAF AVON Sabre with 2 x 30mm :)
NeilWillis Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 And a Super Sabre, and a Thud, and a flyable MiG-15, and a MiG-17, and an F4 Phantom, and and and.... Think I'm getting a little carried away again, so I'll shut up :) :) :)
mvsgas Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) AFAIK, only the first few or so F-86F had the Slats (later retrofitted with the new slat less wing). The slats hinder their turning ability at high altitude. Later on the the 6-3 wing was used, increasing maximum speed and improving turning ability while raising stall speed and landing speed. Just look for F-86 6-3 wing and you will see more info.

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
WinterH Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) As far as I've been able to read, slat story goes like : First wings had slats, but slats hampered maximum speed and high altitude turning ability. "Hard wing" we have, called 6-3 wing, with small wing fences that apparently improve lift at some conditions. This wing has improved maximum speed and brought high altitude turning to par with MiG-15, though made the plane stall a bit earlier, therefore increased takeoff and landing speeds as well. Some later F-86F models apparently are also fitted with a slat equipped wing but that was different from earlier slatted wing. New wing also taxed maximum speed just a little bit but improved take off and landing speeds, as well as turning ability at both high and low speeds compared to 6-3 wing. All that said, what Belsimtek has modeled for us is F-86F-35 which seems to be predominantly used 6-3 wing anyway :). So it's just fine. But later on another variant with later wing may be interesting too.

IvanK Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) On the first day there was the standard slatted wing. On the second day came the unslatted 6-3 wing whom the transonic Ps Gods thought was good On the third day came slatted 6-3 wing which Bleese the God of "No guts no glory" thought was even better On the fourth day came an extended slatted 6-3 wing on the F86F-40 whom the Shinto gods of Nippon thought was even better :) Edited August 2, 2014 by IvanK
doraemil Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 No we really need an RAAF AVON Sabre with 2 x 30mm :) that'd be cool, they could use the ka-50's 30mm as its already modeled (well the a-10 30 is too fast . . ) . . . I liked cannon more than mguns in ww2 and korea . . . era sims.
