I hope you're using a decent control motor to move the wing up and down. The hold torque will have to be enormous if you plan to control the movement by turning the axle.

I'll probably have the servo connected to a worm-gear, that screws into a arm, attached to the shaft, so the servo won't actually have to hold the torque from the wing itself, it will just have to hold the worm-gear from turning...
