DMC Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The aileron chord width on the F-86A is several inches wider than that of the E and F, based on photos in the Haynes F-86 Owners' Workshop Manual, and an excellent overhead museum shot of the A that is featured featured in the manual (photo not in the manual). Pretty sure (still reading up on this) this has something to do with the As early control system: rods with a hydraulic boost. The Monogram F, and the Academy F, have narrower, in chord, ailerons that are close to the chord width of the flaps. I want to make sure I get my Monogram F to E conversion correct so am naturally curious abut the change. Think I could post the overhead shot? Don't want to steal anyone's thunder.

Tony Edmundson Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 'Tis true, the 'A' ailerons have a wider chord. Your 'E' would have the same ailerons as an 'F'. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deliveries commenced October 1949 and ended in December 1950. Cheers, Tony Edited January 11, 2017 by Tony Edmundson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
