Cader28,
ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!!!!
Pilots could be stolen from another kit, or there may be some resin figures out there. Another option would be to repose a figure.
Motorization, I guess it would depend on how much space there is to hide a motor and related stuff.
The bit about supporting a 35th Blackhawk ... if you're keeping it in scale, acrylic would be WAY too brittle/weak to support such a large model. Wire may be the way to go, but you'd have to use VERY hard/stiff stuff (can you say tensile strength?

) and the length would have to be as short as possible to minimize swaying.
A bird kit, in 1/35? If you're looking for a model of a real bird, I believe Tamiya had a Farm Animals set in 35th, dunno if it's still in production or not. Anyhoo, I think it included a bird or two.
Fade to Black...
