Add an image of the sky crane.

| Feb 27, 2021 at 5:45 | comment | added | Schwern | @azot The sky crane's support cables are not parallel, they radiate out from a central point as I've modeled. That makes no difference to the apparent position of the data cable, it's the camera position does. The neat thing about this simple experiment is it is repeatable. Go find some string and cardboard and make whatever model satisfies you. | |
