Which will happen, since the flapper would continue spinning after it reached a vertical position.
Does your spinning device at any point in its spinning reach a position in which the flaps are fully contained inside the frame? If so, you have a problem.

The whole thing is completely inside the frame when the pistons are compressed. The only time the mechanism is outside the frame is when it slides in and out in less than 2 seconds.
