Leroy Grumman figured out that folding mechanism with some paper clips and 3x5 cards, I read. Only Wildcat and Hellcat...
Everything else just folded straight up.
I built a model Hcat as a kid and it had that hinge as part of the kit, so the wings twisted and folded back on the kit, too. Very cool (Monagram, I think)
