Thanks a lot :thumbright: Having the data I could start making the mechanism :oops: Well, meanwhile I have to finish the mold of the fuselage. Joe

Does someone know the angles of the hinges (seen from the side and from the front)? From the sketches I measure alpha = 60 and beta = 30 deg. Do you think that's right? Or do you think a dummy mockup is the only way to find things out (OK 3D-CAD would also work).
