  SurfmyStrat – I had a look around and i found out that a bit airplane does exist, it does fly and its really small. What it is is a modified bit char-g. You take out the radio gear of the car and simply stick it in the plane. My guess is how you make the plane ascent or descent is adjust the thrust of the engine. The pages i found these pics are from some foreign language which doesnt work with my computer. Enough said…here are the pics.

  I recently saw a small polystyrene electric freeflight plane in a hobby shop that would suit a perfect adaption to BCG rc gear.
  I bought it but it will be a while before I can get around to doing the mods.
  The prop, wings, fuselage, motor, batteries etc are all perfectly matched and it flies, so the hard work is pretty much done. All I have to do now is install the actuators and maybe a slightly stronger battery.
  If only I had the spare time….I will get to it eventually

  Good luck with it micro, it is alot of hard work trying to get one of them to fly. I also found some vids of the thing flying.

  I don’t think you can buy these off the shelf. From the pictures it shows how they converted a bit car into a bit plane. I havent yet seen or heard of a place to buy them.

  Yeh they are quite a bit of precision work to get one flying and are very delicate, mostly for indoors or a very still day.
