Using cheap Chinese motor and Cell found on Ebay and one small drone propeller also sourced via Ebay DC 1.5V-6V 3000RPM Micro RF-300CA Solar Power Motor Mini 24mm Round Toy Motor https://www.ebay.fr/itm/DC-1-5V-6V-3000RPM-Micro-RF-300CA-Solar-Power-Motor-Mini-24mm-Round-Toy-Motor-/263554199191?hash=item3d5d0dee97 https://www.ebay.fr/itm/1-Pair-2mm-ABC-CW-CCW-props-Anti-wrestling-Propeller-Fixed-wing-DIY-Accessories-/253315153024?hash=item3afac27c80 Cell is 0.5-6v 3.5W, size 165 x 135 mm x 3 mm https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Mini-A-faire-soi-meme-Etanche-Panneau-Solaire-Module-Systeme-Pour-Jouet-Batterie-Telephone-Portable-/132570439605?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137 you can find a lot on Ebay, just customize a little the fitting part if necessary I use aluminium pipe external Diameter 6mm, you need some screws, glue, wires in addition of the above items. Cut the pipe at your convenience, just adjust weight inside the bomb before glueing. it's able to rotate even without any sun on a cloudy day. If you leave in a sunny area choose a smaller cell. I had a lot of fun doing and testing this plane. Design is not following anything existing, just as it came into my mind. Hope you will enjoy.
