I'm not sure what you mean by that =\ I did end up building the prototype of a wing today. It needs some tweaks, but it's a decent first step. Next step will be figuring out how it will need to move when attached to the back plate. It's pretty much a copy of the wooden wing displayed in the...

Okay, so I need to figure out how the moving parts on the back plate will attach to the base edge of the wings and move them before I should consider the motor/battery? Makes sense. I'll draw up some plans after I build the wing prototype so that I can see exactly how it needs to move. Thanks!

Both, really. I think I'm good as far as the wing design and the cosmetic stuff, but as far as powering the motorized movement and having the parts generate the desired movement to force the wing to expand and retract, I really have no clue where to begin. My cousin-in-law is an electrician, so...

Hello all! I'm dead-set on building a pair of articulated costume wings that open and retract on their own, preferably controlled by a remote. The actual wing design and everything else seem to be pretty simple (building the first prototype tomorrow), but I have no idea where to begin with...
