Fly powered airplanes have been done - it's NOT that hard to do. There is a class of model aircraft called "Indoor Duration" - the models weigh in in the low gram class - one guy put a small mount on the back, used to catch horseflys, and glue them to the mount. The two tricks were
1)Knocking them out without killing them
2)Figuring out that if their feet are off the ground, they WILL beat their wings. He built the mount in souch a way that all their legs were off the ground
He said it was quite interesting watching the fly figure out how to steer!
