F-86E L/E slats question..


Recommended Posts

I remember reading somewhere, on one of the forums, that the leading edge slats on the F-86E could be "pinned" closed for maintenance?

Are there any pics of this? Perhaps mentioned in a F-86E maintenance manual?

If so, where would the "safety pin hole" be located on the slat? Pics of this would be great.

Thanks.

Incidentally if you are using modern images for reference, anything goes: you'll get Canadair Sabre 5s painted as F-86Fs, F-40 wings on pretty much anything and even an F-86A with a narrow-chord wing with fence! Of course if you're modelling a modern F-86 then you can pretty much mix and match most things because there are few airworthy Sabres that represent accurate period schemes/configurations.
