Milviz F-100 SLATS

What is control to make the wing slats retract?

Still trying to figure out how to retract the leading edge slats.

Its been a while since I've taken the F-100 up but as I recall the slats retract/extend automatically. I seem to recall they retract around 350 kts. The F-100 really likes the higher speeds but you have to work a bit to keep the AOA down so you can accelerate through that 300 knot range. I'll load it up this afternoon once I have a bit of time and try and confirm!

Looks like the slats are fine. I noted they were moving back with additional thrust.

Yep, it looks like they retract/extend based on the angle of attack. On my system that has them retracting at about 265 knots around sea level. It's a fun machine!
