I think the leading edge slats would be helpful. They would have to be servo operated. I believe Bob Violett has designed a system he uses for his F-100. He has gone to graet lengths to make sure they work. I am not sure he would share his design with you since he, I believe inserts the tracks when constructing the wings while in a jig to insure proper alignment. The trimmers for the Ford are most likely an unecessary added complication.
