Default KMP C47 electric conversion

I would like to convert my 102" KMP C47 to electric, I was planning on using 2 Zenoah 20 gas engines but after reading the post from Ty about his wellington Im hooked. Some help please! the manufactuor states a flying weight of 20Lbs (Gas) but I think 25 Lbs is a better and more realistic weight, 102 inches for the wingspan but here's the sticky bit. In order to be scale I can only swing 13 inch props.... im thinking 3 blade but cant go any larger because of the clearance from nacelle to fuselage. this will be my first electric powered model and from all the good info I have been reading it realy is the future in scale. Thanks
