Flying Around the Pole - model airplane with pager motor

This little plane has ~5" wing span. It is made with regular copy paper and some balsa (tail boom & wing spar). It is constrained to fly in a circle with wires, like a control line model airplane. Except it also get electrical power through the wires, to run a electric motor (pager). Power is supplied by one AA battery (1.5V). Prop is made from coke bottle plastic. Here are 2 pictures of the plane: img11.imageshack.us img197.imageshack.us img412.imageshack.us
