I thought it was probably something like that. If I'm reading it right, the center section will telescope back when the wings fold, and telescope forward when the wings open. I know this is just a model, and that it won't be under the stresses of the real machine. But once they're unfolded is there a mechanical stop to keep the wings from trying to go beyond their open position? A hard stop so that the center section can't move any farther forward maybe? I would think that the wings will want to fold back if there is any kind of drag on them once they are open.
