In answer to my own problem, I busted out Sebulba's pod and used 4 black 2x2
'L' plates and a dk gray 1x8 plate for each wing.

My solution (sorry, don't have a .dat file) is this:

Take off the offending lt gray 2x10 plate.  Attach the 'L' plates like so:

1122 3344---- <- Key: 1,2,3,4 L plates, ----- guns
1 C2  3C4----         C visible click-hinge, H where the hinges connect
  H    H
MAIN MODEL

Now, slap the 1x8 plate on like so:

PPPPPPPP4
1  2  3 4

It seems to hold up to playing (took it to the office and some colleagues
zoomed it around), and it doesn't look half-bad.  Only wish I had some white
Ls.  :)

Anyway, I'm asking again, I think LEGO released a somewhat mildly defective
model.  Is there any channels to let LEGO know?

Nothing real sturdy comes to mind, but maybe I'll go play around a bit.  I
wonder if we can't get LEGO to do something about it?  I found a reference
photo at Starship Modeler and the wings are supposed to go all the way down.
