need help getting a model to follow a path. 3dsmax

seantree

I'm modeling a glider of sorts and want the wings to collapse along a track to the rear of the ship. I've tried using "create shape from selection" to turn the track into a spline for the wing supports to follow and used a path constraint to move the support along the track. thing is it does not work properly. I've fiddled with the settings and cannot seem to get it to do what I want. Are there any other techniques usd for doing this? thanks!!!!

Don't know if this'll help, but you could try rigging the wings to bones (each wing to one bone) and then using a lookat controller on the bone. Use a dummy object that's traveling down the path as the lookat object.

Just a thought.
