I agree with Jacob. It's amazing how those wing pieces seem to exactly match
the radius of the curved monorail track sections.
I like what I see so far for this build. Classic Space has always been my
favorite. Please post pics of the completed build to Lugnet.

The 4 x 9 wing plate is perfect. 36 of them in a circle fit inside a monorail
circle.
As you can probably see, I use this trick alot in my space layout.
I've probably ordered well over 1000 of those wing plates from various Bricklink
stores over the years. As well, the 2 x 4 hinge plate, and the blue slopes I
use to hold the hinges to the wing plate.
All in all, lots of BL orders for 'basic' pieces.
Thanks for looking!

There is a wee bit of tension on the radius when you put the wing plates
together. However, if you lock it down on the 90 degrees to whatever you're
building, it pretty much flattens the wing 'circle' The tension in the hinge
plates is why you usually see me putting the slopes on top--it holds the hinge
plates together.
THanks for looking.
I'll get the whole thing up when finished and link it here
Take care,
