most likely i could create two cam lopes on the big shaft and postion 2 micro switches to the cams but at 95 bucks why bother. i bet i couldn't build the cam lopes for less than 30 bucks and 20 hours labor.
Have you just thought of replacing the wing?
New mech and connectors might get lucky and get one in the same colour
