Technical Notes
The SkyCrane flies smoothly thanks to the ZE Coaxial Controller (slightly modified) and the ZE Modular Engine Controller. The remaining systems are custom-built by me.
- For heavy loads, increase engine RPS using the right-hand lever.
- The throttle lever includes a stall-prevention system that disengages the clutch to avoid engine failure during rapid acceleration.
