There are multiple differences between this case and the Wright brothers. For instance, they defined the science of the time regarding not only lift and thrust, but stability and control. Then they built gliders and taught themselves how to fly.

I stand by my recommendation. I wish someone had given me the SAME advice when I was screwing around at 13 years of age trying to convert a GILLOWS P-40 WARHAWK to fly on a G-mark .061 and a 2-channel radio. Guess what, it didn't work. The best thing that happened at the time was my dad bought me a Drifter 2-meter glider. That worked and I finally learned to fly, but I waisted a lot of time, effort and money on that silly kit. Gillows aircraft are not structurally or aerodynamically suitable for r/c flight. Can it be done -heck yes. Is it worth the effort? Probably not.
