Question regarding 20mb hdd spindle motor

Hello guys,

After disasembling and recycling some pieces off my old and dead 20mb
Conrad Electronics HDD, I got my attention on the spindle motor which
makes the plates spin.

Now, I'm a total newbie on electronics... However I'd like to know how
can I make this motor run.. I'd like to use it to make a fan, and if
it goes well maybe I build a plane with it =)

By the way, I tried running it with the circuit board before I
dismantled it but, it just runs for 2 or 3 times and then stops...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You have to ask in the electronics groups. It's a servo motor that requires a controller chip.
If you want to run it without load, a three-phase oscillator should work if you ramp up freq.
