Not pleased with the wing pivot. Toying with removing the "gears" They won't go all the way forward

Tried editing that. No go. So here's the problem. They won't swing all the way forward with the pin in place. The gears are not meshing well. The other option is a fixed position. I am looking for suggestions.

I gave up on trying to get them to work properly. The wings now sit on top of the fuselage occasionally getting put in.

Thanks, DD. Now I feel better. Since I'll hang it, I'll probably glue them in. Trying to decide which position, out like this or fully back.

Super, and large, model Don - very well done.

The wings on my model only have about 50% of the range they should have, with most of the travel towards the unswept position. That’s good enough since I put extended landing gear on it. No one ever touches it including me so it’s really nothing but a modelng exercise anyway.

Thanks. A couple of good points here. Since it's a hanger, I think I'll leave them moveable and change it up every year or 2 (If I get that motivated) :)

No big deal Don and it sounds like a universal problem. How often did you plan on moving them anyway? BUT: It sure does look good. Did I miss the proposed marking scheme?
Don C11-Oct-18 09:58
No, but it's irritating. As to markings, I'll post a picture.
