If I am not mistaken I think both Airfix and Revell with the exception of some small indoor variety helicopters product lines are strickly display plastics. If thats the case then they are not gonna fly.

If you are new to RC airplanes trying to save money by starting with attempts to convert small Stick builts such as the Guillows or old Comets while definately possible but a big mistake for the beginner.
