F/A-18C Wing question

[Ponti]

Hi Me again,

If you all haven't guessed I'm building a Hornet ( Academy's 1/32nd )

What I want to know is how to set the leading edge slats and what angle they should be. The instructions tell you how to do the flaps ect on the rear of the wing but not the front. They also only give you the parts to set the rears to a maximum of 45^o. Would you say that they are 45^o or more.

What I want to do is have the plane at rest like the 1 below

Any and all help or comments welcome, as I'm outside my favoured subjects

The flaps on the Hornet in the pic are no more than 45 degrees as that is as low as they will travel.

Cheers Mike,

Now all I need to know is what angle the fronts go down to and I'll be well away.

Hi Ponti,

According to p59 of the F-18 Walk Round by Sqdn Signal the " leading edge flaps can deflect to their full 30 degrees.

Hope this solves the problem.
