Description
RCAF Canadair F-86 Sabre Engine Power-Control Throttle Quadrant Assembly, P/N 191-43044-812
The RCAF Canadair F-86 Sabre Engine Power-Control Throttle Quadrant Assembly, P/N 191-43044-812 is a period cockpit control assembly documented for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 5, 5A, and 6.
Officially identified as Quadrant Assy – Engine Control Throttle, it combines the engine throttle, throttle-friction adjustment, and electric wing-flap selector in one pilot control station.
Historical Significance
Canadair-built Sabres served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Cold War. The Mk. 5 introduced the Canadian-built Orenda 10 engine, while the Mk. 6 used the Orenda 14 and became the final Canadair Sabre production version.
This cockpit quadrant represents the integrated engine and flap controls used in later RCAF Sabres. Its documented application begins with RCAF aircraft 23101 and subsequent and covers the Mk. 5, 5A, and 6 rather than the Mk. 6 alone.
RCAF Sabre Mk. 5, 5A, and 6 Application
RCAF EO 05-5E-4 identifies this assembly in Figure 114 and lists P/N 191-43044-812 on the accompanying parts page. The illustrated throttle, friction control, flap selector, mounting structure, and linkage arrangement match the offered assembly.
The handwritten stock reference is 26CJ/191-43044-812, corresponding to the documented assembly part number.
What This Item Is and Does
This quadrant assembly formed part of the pilot’s engine and wing-flap control station. The main throttle lever controlled engine power, while the friction adjustment changed the resistance of throttle movement.
The separate electric wing-flap selector is marked DOWN – HOLD – UP. The HOLD position allowed the selector to be centered when an intermediate flap position was desired.
