any idea how to make a folding wing aircraft?
iv been trying the new hinges and such but they just turn into baby birds the second they get in the air and flap around.

Yes, i´d built a nice F14 replica a few days ago. Incl. trimmability, and flaps.
Dont´t use the hinges. Try the servo-joints instead (not the motors, but the max. 360° turnable parts)
First add a short Wing to the fuselage.
Then place the smallest joint in symmetry under the wing.
Right click on the right servo and deactivat mirroring. Otherwise the right wing will go backwards while the left will swing forward.
The next step is to define the action groups. And don´t forget to create some key-bindings in the input-section of the main-menu. These can be added to some free keys - like 1+4, 2+5 on the numblock or be relatet to a free joystick-axis. Otherwise the wings will not be adjustable exept by the right-click menu of the part.
Then you should add the wings (small swept wings for F14).
The rotation limits of the servo should be the last step.
The rest ist optimization little by little.
These wings will move your center of mass and the center of lift. My plane got too unstable when they were too straight.

I hope i could help you.
il give em a shot. cause hinges just feel like my planes have floppy dildo arms lol
:/ wings still floppy as hell ♥♥♥♥ it

I tried to make a lambda class shuttle but the wing flew away
