After a week of figuring out how to built this I did it ;)
It aint RC ofcourse but I thought i'd share.
P.S. Dont worry the prop is still perfectly fine , the screw on the prop was a little loose i screwed it in , thats why it gave that wierd sound at the end.

No, it is electric. Listen to the motor whine at the end when the prop comes loose and the motor unloads.
