Hi guys,
this is my fist post here!
I'm working on a project about the Skyraider and I'm going crazy about its slat flap system.
These are moving on two "triangular" struts under each wing which are easily spotted on any photo, but what I really need to know (or see) is how are the mechanical or hydraulic actuators that are actually moving the flaps. These are supposed to be almost hidden by the wing and flaps, and that's why I can't see them in any photo. And so far, I haven't found any kind of diagram, drawing, photo or even a description about them.
Does any of you have any kind of information about this? Or at least any guess about how should they look or how they are in other aircraft designs?
Thanks!
