Spanjaardyou are actually going to make this bird flap its wings? really interesting to see that. where do you get those components if i may ask?

Lorraine Lin AutorThank you everyone!
@Spanjaard, for the wing folding part, I used eyeglass hinges. The motor and lead screw assembly likely comes from a retractable camera module of a smartphone, though I'm not entirely sure—I found it online. The small circuit board is a simple stepper motor driver, made by an electronics hobbyist. I also found it online.

AI enginewhat is that small Linear Actuators going to do the wing folding ? retractable camera module ? or it from lens focus ring ? can you show some video how it moved ?

Alexander GrivonevKinda worried the anchor points of the actuators might rip off, there will be a lot of forces involved...

Lorraine Lin AutorPic18 is the sketch, but the space is not enough for my parts, so the wings can only fold 75-80 degrees.
@AI engine, I guess it's the motor for the pop-up camera of a mobile phone.

Mike ThomasThis is neat stuff! Seeing some of your other builds, I have to ask. Are you an engineer at all? If you're not, maybe you should be. Your work is amazing! 😁

Lorraine Lin AutorHaha Mike, thank you. I studied some engineering courses in university, but my job isn't in that field. Building models has totally jolted my inner engineer awake - lol

Christoph KunzAnd now it's done, just like that. 👍
I would love to see a short video of the plane folding/unfolding the wings.

Alexander GrivonevI agree with Christoph, the wing folding deserves a video 👍👍

DaveLorraine, That is beautiful work and details in your Corsair. Always blown away with your creative ideas.

Robert PodkońskiI cannot find the adequate words to describe your ingenuity, superhuman skills, and talent, Lorraine... Simply, you are a genius! Chapeau bas!

Ben MBeautiful and inspirational. The electromechanical stuff is great and so is the modeling. Thank you for sharing on scalemates!

Sven DoeWow! Fantastic work 👍
Did you use an USB-Connector underneath the engine for control?
1 22 September, 18:57
Lorraine Lin AutorThank you Mates!
@Sven Doe, Yes, I used a USB Type C cable for power and control.

Michael KohlGreat idea and top engineering. Nice video. At the Hahnweide we saw the Corsairs foldvtheir wings while taxiing. Nice display there and here.

Erik OffWow, impressive! How smoothly everything moves... 👍
Can you tell me where you get the parts from?
25 September, 18:57
Lorraine Lin AutorHi Erik, the stepper motor and screw assembly should be for a pop up camera of a phone. I bought it from taobao.com, similar parts also available in ebay. Key word is "5mm stepper motor linear screw slider".

CaptGPFOK Lorraine - this isn't just next level modeling, it's light-year modeling! I thought your Back to the future diorama was amazing, but this just topped it! Well done!
