this along with the double slotted slats where made to reduce the stall speed for the smaller french ac carriers.
We are doing the E version ( non FN ). Standard stabilator. The aerodynamic configuration i found has worked perfectly well so far. But I need to test heavier versions and push the airframe to its limits. Which I will do early next year.
I am collecting a database of the modifications made to the F-8 so that we can make most of the variants.
The C/ D will require a new wing center section mold ( simple top ) and new engine hatch mold as well as small nose cone.
The H might required a new main gear CAD.
The J/ N will require some wing slats engraving mods.
I am not sure about the K/ L/ P versions yet.
