This includes a mount for a small brushed motor, a very simple battery tray (rubber bands required), and what I'm calling the Electronics Cradle.

Besides the PLA, I used the following in this project:
* 2x micro 1A reversing ESCs I found on Amazon
* 1x Happymodel EPW6 TCXO ELRS receiver
* 2x micro brushless motors I probably pulled from an old toy a few years ago
* 1x EMAX 1s 450mAH battery
* 1x slightly broken "Guillow's Jetfire" balsa wood glider
* hot glue, electrical tape, solder, random bits of wire, etc (You get the idea)

This design operates entirely on differential thrust. It just barely works well enough to call a success!
On a straight line, it's fine though it does not easily climb.
When turning it tends to roll more than is preferred, causing turns to either be very wide or flight-ending.
