It doesn't stretch out. The other parts move to line things up.

Thanks Bfeller,
Does that mean that I need to disconnect parts such as the boomerang, fit it to the strut and then find a way to then fit the boomerang? Is there some where I can find out diagram, or step by step process?
Thanks for your help
