Awesome, I thought of shaped charges as well, but trying to keep the post short.
I assumed the goal was to have something similar to the model plane and particularly its incredibly range and efficiency. 1 gallon for 1000 miles. The plane shape and aerodynamics certainly help the efficiency.
However if there was an explosive charge to carry, the charge certainly can't improve the plane structure or aerodynamics (hence reducing the efficiency of the plane overall) and I'm not sure the charge could be shaped and mounted in the most optimal way (reducing the efficiently of the explosive itself).
So while the model plane might be incredibly efficient at flying, I question whether it could be anywhere near as good for the new purpose.
