It might work in the 1:200 scale, I think it's a perfect scale to make it possible. but how they'll manage to make the working engines, I'd like to know that.. My best bet is that 1:400 is too small for that..lol

Not sure of the question, do you mean really fly, like an RC model. If thats what you are asking, the technology is here. For example there are RC flying models now with an 8" wing span total wght of 11 grams, they have rudder, elevator and throttle control and can remain airborn for 8 to 10 min. Put that in one of your Herpas and let it rip but you'll have to lighten the load quite a bit first.
