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 installing a battery-powered mechanism that will open and close the wings.
Ideally the rig will be relatively quiet but able to handle the load without trouble.
Any and all suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Below are a couple links to help you see what I'm trying to do. The first video displays the wing design at 3:10. The second shows a working pair of articulated wings.

This is probably small potatoes to most (or all) of you, but your help is greatly appreciated :)
