I had the Estes Crusader Swing-Wing which was similar to the Scissor-Wing. The Crusader had NO plastic parts in the pivot assembly, the pivot assembly was constructed of 1/8” plywood and a hardwood central dowel. I put a TON of flights on the Crusader and the pivot assembly never broke. My Crusader was swallowed by the WAREP (West Aurora Rocket Easting Pond). The small amount of lead shot in the PNC took it under like the HMS Hood.
