X-Wing gearbox

[Makin Bacon]

I've recently been modifying Lego's 2018 X-Wing model (though at this point, it'll be more of a moc than a mod) and I've been having issues with the gears. 

I want to eliminate the usage of rubber bands entirely, and I've been having trouble finding a mechanism that works without being wobbly. The wings will neither stay open nor closed and I was wondering if anyone who specializes in technic mechanisms or who has built an X-Wing of their own could offer some advice or designs of a gearbox that will keep the wings open/closed without wobbling.

I modified mine to remove the rubber bands based loosely on Krispijn's design (pictures from his flickr below). However, it's a bit wobbly still. I believe the worm gear solution is more robust and less prone to wobble, but I don't know if the instructions for the mechanism itself have been shared. Plenty of X-wing mocs use it.

Your best bet is probably to use some sort of mechanism similar to Jerac's X wing
