Made just for fun during hollidays.
This plane is rotating with solar light. Just plug a solar cell to the motor and it's done.

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.
