Just a thought, haven't tried it yet:
On top of the bottom wing, fix a 1x1 brick with 5 studs (1), and attach a
plate 1x2 with long towball (2) to one of the side studs, so that the towball
end sticks up. Underneath the top wing, put a plate 2x5 with towball socket
(3), this will receive the towball end of the 2508 piece. Since the 2508 will
be attached to the 4733 by only one stud, it can swivel forward a small bit.
Cheers,
