tree68 Flintlock76 Could work. As my Air Force veteran brother says, "Anything'll fly if you put a big enough engine on it!" I believe it was my Air Force vet son who told me they tried to put modern turbofans on a B-52 and had to de-rate them as the airframe couldn't handle them. So yes - put a big enough engine on it and it'll fly. Recall, too, that they fly M1 tanks (nearly 70 tons) inside aircraft... A C17 has a payload in the 88 ton range.

Pratt & Whitney leased a B52 to test the JT9-D for the 747

Pretty amazing what those R/C guys come up with!
Now, something like THIS has been around since a certain famous "Flying Ace" took to the sky years ago. The technology's just gotten better.
