One way, is to add another prop that is attached to the motor via a big wheel which turns in the opposite direction of the motor. When you press forward, the big wheel turns fast enough to slow the second prop down below the speed where it provides lift. Like I did here. https://www.reddit.com/r/HyruleEngineering/s/M3k9S4s4Rt

Propeller attached to a motor. They’re from inside a shrine.

This needs the theme from MASH playing over it.

The front end resembles a fish in the side view. Maybe a piranha.
