Yes and this is how you build it!
RC Pyro

PLUS!!!
KoolBear also started making another blue print for building 2 versions of that pyro.

Oh, my god! I never really thought that that thing can actually fly.

Nice. However, I've seen R/C Pyros before. Here is one from a number of years back (the first one I ever saw). It even has a realistic paint job.

What?

The guy who built that Pyro is an Austrian aircraft engineer who is also into RC model building. That thing is real.

I notice it still has to have a tail to be stable in flight, but it is cool! Now if we can ever develop anti-gravity technology, then we could build a full sized Pyro that performs like the one in Descent.

What do you mean a "tail"?

There is no tail. Just a wire for receiving remote control signals.

Are you talking about the "elevator/ aileron" that make it turn/ roll?
If so, that's not a "tail".

Now all they gotta do is make weapon systems and have targets for practice, and make more types. Awesome!

Yeah, it's got no more "tail" than a Pyro would have ... which is aerodynamically sound despite it's appearance.

I'm trying it hard to find some vendors for the material but currently no luck.

They can order it for me but only bigger amount. :/

Does someone know a store in Hamburg (Germany) which sells such material. I need foamed plastic, a motor, and so on.

Das ist alles normaler Modellflugzeug-Bedarf. Guck doch mal im Internet; "Modellflugzeugbau" oder so.

Habe ich schon ausführlich. Wie gesagt, die wollen/können/dürfen nur große Mengen bestellen und nicht kleinere - ich schätze, dass nicht so viel Material nötig ist.

Hier meine geschätzte Materialliste:
1x 2m² 3mm dick
1x 2m² 6mm dick
1x 2m Holzstab, ca. 10-15cm²
1x Motor 16/15/5
1x Propeller, Plastik 4,75x4,75
1x "Set Flugzeugkontrolle" (Fernsteuerung und Empfangseinheit mit Servos und Seilzügen für die Ruder)

Werkzeug - alles im Baumarkt erhältlich - habe ich schon.

Okay, ich habe hier wen gefunden.
