For this build, you will need a
-broken rc plane (with the motor and reciever still functional)
-cardboard (for the skirt)
-scissors
-tape
-small box to mount plane on
-working mini rc heli
The Motor

Mount the plane electronics onto the cardboard skirt by taking the tape and wrapping it around the plane and skirt. (Make sure to cut a small hole in the skirt to charge/turn the plane on and off)
Creating the Lift

To create lift, cut a hole in the skirt and attach the helicopter to it using tape. Make sure to cut a hole in the skirt to allow air through
Steering
To steer this DIY fun machine, you can use the tail rotor of the helicopter. Th helicopter I am using doesn't have one, but you can just rotate a tail rotor (from a heli that does have one)
