what do you think?
Someone did something similar to this in 2007. Granted it wasn't as high, but they made it work. I belive they way they did it was each "wing" was rotated up once the alliance partners were on them. Then a leg would pop down to hold the wing in place after power down. It was kinda cool to watch
