We could say that one has to re-enact mankind's steps in the discover of flying! 
Don't forget everything started with "flying" toys, such as bird-like models, since ancient history.
Had nobody ever tried to make a toy fly, then we wouldn't fly today! So keep trying! 8)
I just had an idea: In this case, better results could be achieved by chosing the model of a plane with either high wing or a high positive dihedral (in other words, "wings have a clear upwards inclination"), which should provide better stability dewspite the small scale.
If this proves correct, it will also mean that "old" planes are better suited for the task, as they were projected to keep somewhat stable by themselves, unlike nodern jets... unless you manage to put a fly-by-wire computer in your F-22 model! :mrgreen:
