I'll agree with Fredrik. I've been thinking of uses for my old
9V motors too, and since I do some control line flying, I dug

or melted out to accomodate a Technic Axle.

A smaller prop for rubber power would do well too. I know it's not
strictly Technic,, but how are you going to hold the heilum in all
of those Technic beams you'll need for te airframe :-)
