Default NEED HELP!!! Scratch-building a V-22 Osprey

I've been considering this for a while, but have just now decided to bring this up. I know it not really scale but couldn't i use a air-jet system to control the movement while in hover (just like a harrier does). The holes could be kept small and would not ruin the scale appearance. It just seems like this is really the only way to control a model like this feasibly. A plus is the control surface and the jet could work simultaneously, thus eliminating the need for different flight modes on the radio. While in hover, the control surface would move, but obviously, the jet would be doing all the work. Vice versa in forward flight.

P.S. this could also help fight the "gyro effect"
