If there is a will, there is a way.
Problem with control line planes is none of them are light enough, just ask any builder.......
Anytime you start retrofitting and modifying stuff, you inevitably will end up with something that is heavier than a comparable plane that was built for the purpose right from the get go.
That being said, go ahead and partake what this hobby is supposed to be [at least in my mind]...a place to try things and see what comes of it.
