Default Bending WinSPMBTs rules

I wanted to throw this out for Andy and Don (mostly) and anyone else that cares to comment.

In the course of my many quests to get WinSPMBT to do what I want rather then what's it programmed and intended to do I came up with this.

Most OOBs do not make use of Unit Class #215 (Gunship Aircraft) so I copied a "cheap" UAV (Crew=1, Size=0, Speed=3, EW=3, Vision=15) and created a dummy WC=11 (aircraft) weapon.
Interestingly it costs about half as much as a UC=50 (Air OP Aircraft) unit and since it's a "Gunship Aircraft" it makes only one circle-pass of the targeted location thus has a more limited probability of actually spotting anything. But since it's still officially an aircraft it's fired on by AA weapons. Finally being a different Unit Class then Spotter Aircraft you can create a formation with say two UAVs vice the Spotter A/Cs one.

The questions are:
Is this variant of spotter aircraft useful to represent "dimestore" UAV's?
Is it totally breaking WinSPMBTs "rules as intended"?
