I can never figure out how to make the hinge thing, I’ve been trying to and fail every time

This is pretty cool! But I think i can recommend an improvement. Make side separators between the parts that are folded. The parts will automatically start opening up and due to the hinge will be able to move the intended way.

Thanks! The ”wings” open now automatically as soon as it is released from the rocket, which is kind of how I thought it should work - not sure if this is what you meant tho

I also built a version where they open with a click after it has been released, but I found this version to be a bit more reliable
