Default Electric power systems

This one is for you Sal,
I'm a newbie to the world of electric flight, but I can see its definite advantages.
In some 'horse-trading', I acquired a Hangar 9 Aspire glider, but it has an old, heavy outdated power plant.
I'm looking for suggestions for a power system for this glider that will use a brushless motor and LiPo batteries. I have in stock a 25A ESC. Not interested in having the glider do a ballistic climb out, but a system that would give a very positive rate of climb.
Aspire Specifications:
79" wing span - 48" fuselage - 50oz flying weight.

Thanks for any info you can provide me.
