I would much prefer going the other way around RC to controlline, anyway another consideration that needs to be considered on such a conversion is the offset wings on many controlline designs with a longer inboard wing than the outboard such as my magician. This would be difficult to deal with so choice of subjects is important.

Somewhere around twenty years ago Tower sold an RC version of the Nobeler with a much fatter fuselage. It apparently flew pretty well but was not a success in the market place and to my eye it lost its charm and character visually being more like just another sport RC plane.
