The blades will be pushed from one side when they should be deployed, the other when they should be edge-on to the wind. If their center of effort is a tad off axis that will provide all the power you need to flip them.

i like the idea of a horizontally hinged vane(on the upwind side ) as long as the wind could push the vanes back at an angle it would allow air to pass through,
increasing efficientcy.
the problem would be on the downwind side as all the vanes clatter back to their
energy gathering position
this is were modern materials might help.
