I tried to make another wing mechanism to make the wings move in and out similar to the other one but this time using split pins to make it easier for the wing to move. I first tried to make it out of paper but didn't get very far as the paper was to thin to work as it just flexed rather than moving the way i wanted it too.
I then tried using balsa wood to make the prototype for the wing, the wood worked really well as it is really light but still quite strong. As for the design its self, the design works well but not quite how i wanted it to as it doesn't open and close fully, this is because of the way i attached the spring to the wood as i glued it on and doesn't allow the spring to move correctly.
