I would think if you made a hatch in the tail , mounted all the radio and battery eqipment back there a person could keep the weight at a flyable point.. I do think however that the motor will probably tear the wings off and make the firewall seperate from the rest of the plane. I made a top cowl hatch in mine to inspect everything, add some glue, and I am not sure it would have held up very long with my toro 25 without it.. As it is the landing gear pulled loose with a fairly decent landing in some rough grass.

Its definately an airframe test !
