Default Total Newb! How do i make this work?!

Ok, so i was cleaning out my closet and i came across two RC cars. I stripped them down and took out the motors just out of curiousity and i was bored. Well the first one i took apart gave me two identical motors. The second, faster car i stripped apart produced a bigger more powerful motor. i also took apart the gearbox and i got a smaller motor from it. Since i am in Physics i know a little about how the things work and such so i got a 9v and i played around with them and then i got a battery pack and tested it on the motors. Of course they all ran. (O and the tiny motor you see in the pic is from a little RC car that i got at the mall). Anyways me and my friend are really determined to put these things to use somehow, and we decided that we are gunna try and get something airborne using what we got. We would like to see the two identical motors used in a duel prop plane or something like that if it is possible. I want to hear from you guys and tell me what you think about what we should do. We don't want to spend a lot of money but i know we will need to buy some things. Anyways i want to hear from you guys about what we should do and give us any information you guys can. Tell me what type of motors these are, if it is possible to use these and build a simple electic plane, if so should we try the two identical motors or just use the one and which one should we use?. Do we buy a foam plane body or do we have to make a body ourselves? If we succeed in getting something in the air, is there any SIMPLE way to control it i.e. steer the plane? How and if there are different ways the please give me al the information you can and tell me what we should do. It would be awsome if this could actually work. I'm not interested in throttle control its basically just gunna be on/off, so basically just give me any comments or information on how we can make a plane with the motors i have and how do we control it? Thanks for helping us out!
