Awesome job! Just curious have you tested how much weight she can lift?

Thanks for the compliment. I managed to find some time and played with the crane a bit. I extended my desk and created a test yard.
This afternoon i found an old car battery, which weighs about 42 lbs and it lifted it with ease. 42 lbs at 1/24 scale is the equivalent of about 580,000 lbs for the real one.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
