Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Having the ability to move parts would allow folding wings, tilt-wing VTOL craft, custom landing gear, and other absurdities.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like several parts that act as servos, telescopic pistons, bearings, hinges, etc. (Similar to the robotic parts added by Kerbal Space Program's Breaking Ground DLC)

Describe alternatives you've considered While tilt-wing, folding wings, etc. could be implemented as special parts, Balsa's adaptive wings and such really allow a great degree of flexibility that would be detracted from if a folding part was used.

This would be really cool, actually - and should allows for some really neat designs.

I think we had this planned already to some fuzzy extent - anyways, it's a bit too soon to get into details there right now. First we should make sure the game can run without exploding the house.

As much as we'd like to jump head-first into the "cool stuff" - we'd never finish anything if we did things that way... So we'll have to be a bit patient here.
