Find yourself a copy of the 3DPI so that you can examine your scene.

You can make your spoiler into a group if it's not a single model. Then you would use addToWorld/removeFromWorld or similar to show/hide it.

You can also make geometry that uses a specific shader disappear / reappear by adjusting the blend (opaqueness):
  --enable transparency
  member("3dworld").shader("wing spoiler").transparent = true
  --make 100% tranparent
  member("3dworld").shader("wing spoiler").blend = 0

Also, you can use the visibility property of the model to prevent rendering:

member("3dworld").model("wing mirror").visibility = #none
