Sure, it will work. There's no reason it wouldn't. Just remember the wing loading. If you were to try it, I'd rebalance the model for the single wing. But, I bet it flies like a total dog.

BTW, Pilot did not go out of business. Neither did EZ. The plant burned down several years ago. All of the designs housed in the building were lost. But, they have rebuilt and are rebuilding their offering list. Yes, the EZ Christian Eagle is hard to find, but there are quite a few others out there if you look. And, it's quite common to find ragged out EZ models at swap meets for next to nothing. That's the type of model I would use if I were to get a wild hair.
