A common model, seen hundreds over the years. Just a short, thick chord wing, tail as the handle and a nice little engine at the front...

Without seeing it, I would say it flew because of lift generated by angle-of-attack. This is how most acrobatic planes fly, and how your hand 'flies' up when you hold it out the window or a car.
 

...&&It is better to remain silent and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.&&&&There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
