If you got a Brushless cordless drill and removed the casing for weight, could you make it fly?
You have a high speed motor, speed controller, battery or two, charger and your set to go.
20v should give more umph, the batteries charge in 30 min and I recon with the lightness of the plane and the lack of resistance on the motor you could get a 30 min flight time.
The motor up front, BIG wings, 1/3 size tail to wing size, battery towards the mid to rear and could fly nice. Oh, and a Massive prop, 12 / 6 maybe?
$99 for an 20v cordless drill with two battery, with the size of the motor, ESC and batteries and charger could work out a lot less than buying branded gear.
