Hi Richard

I have built a Corsair with scale hydraulic folding wings, I have been working on this for some 2 years, they are fully hydraulic and have a scale locking system, all hinge points are hand made with bushings, If I can help please let me know and I will put you in touch with the people who make all the hydraulic parts.
