Hello chevyman
Really nice plane you are building.
I know I have seen one or two tutorials of how to use cd-rom motors for rc models, but i can't seem to find them right now. My best bet would be in a forum called
"Foamies (scratchbuilt)" at rcgroups.com. In addition to the motor you also need a suitable speed controller. I am
almost sure a cd-rom motor is brushless, so in that case you will need a brushless speed controller. Probably the cheapest place to get any speed controller (also referred to as ESC or BL-ESC for brushless) is
hobbyking.com, but sometimes the postage may make it unnecessarily expensive to buy a single item. I have bought a few motors and ESC from
rctimer.com where the postage is included in the price and they haven't complained so far about me making several small orders.
Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask more questions if (when?) they arise
