Thanks for the code, the part where you create the limbs completely messed up the object for me, so I never used that part.
Here is a solution:

It's not exactly what you asked for but it gives a perfect collision shape for your plane.
Advantages:
- No confusing limb code, just get your shapes looking like a plane and make convex meshes for everything and join them together with physics joints.
- Plane can fall apart if needed, just delete joints upon crash.
- Less code, not as complicated.
Disadvantages:
- May not be as efficient with joints as it would be with compound actor, I doubt it makes much difference.
I had issues with convex shape(compound) and that model, I will need to investigate further, but hopefully I have given you a better solution above.
EDIT: Modified code, code above needs PhysX constants file. Code below does not, also shows how to blow off a wing
