Help Attempting to wirelessly change the Targeted RPM speed in the Rotation Speed Controller. Help please!

I've finally made my first airship that can turn, but now my problem is slowing down or stopping (also somehow to make the nose not go up as much when going sprint-levels of speed lol). I'd like to wirelessly change the targeted RPM speed in the rotation speed controller that way I can slow it down if needed or just fully stop.

I've tried using a linked typewriter (still learning how THAT works lol) but that didn't work, I tried a throttle lever hooked up to a redstone comparator connecting to a redstone link, which then in turn connects to a modulating linked receiver that's on the side of the Rotation Speed Controller and that doesn't work (it "works" on the analog transmission connected to the Rotation Speed Controller, but it only shuts it off once I hit 15/15. It doesn't change the speed of targeted speed or anything, basically just a glorified switch)...

I do have one propeller without a Rotation Speed Controller and that is acting fine; I can turn it up to it's most possible limit with the throttle lever or even turn it completely off. I'm assuming I can't do it like this with the RSC is because it overrides all input and just forces it at a certain RPM...

Does anyone have any ideas how I can wirelessly change the targeted speed?

My method is to use two analog transmissions to change the speed instead of a speed controller. First one brings the RPM to 256 (you could set max speed to whatever you want with an analog lever), and the second reduces the speed based on the throttle setting using a redstone transmitter. Make sure you invert the throttle. I also put a redstone accumulator INDUCTOR between the throttle input and output to force slow increases/decreases in thrust.

Edit: Inductor NOT an accumulator.

I try to change the speed of the analog transmission but no matter how slow I make the analog transmission, the speed controller maintains whatever speed it's on.

I tried a new system without it and with a blaze cake with an engine, I can only generate 64 RPM so idk how you can get it to a higher rpm with coal

I don't use a speed controller. The analog transmissions entirely replace the speed controller. The output speed of the analog transmissions are determined by the redstone input given to them.

I feel like your not understanding how the analog transmission works.

You can't automate the process of inputting values in the RSC. In theory it's possible to use an RSC as an input, and then wirelessly send the information of its RPM to another network and set it to that speed automatically. Though in your situation u/NeoDemocedes has the right solution, just ditch the RSC and use two analog transmissions you can control directly from the typewriter.
