RE: eLECTRIC POWER
About 2lbs ready to fly? You're looking at around 150 Watts for Cessna-like performance, or 200 Watts if you like things spicy 
Me, I have a collection of hot sauces in my kitchen, so you know where I'd go...
That's a 3S LiPoly at 15 or 20 Amps, respectively, and you've got many motor options. For a 200 Watt system, check the recommended setup for an Eflite Mini Funtana, which is the Eflite Park 400-4200 or Himaxx 2025-4200 with a 6:1 gearbox and 12x6 prop. You could also go with an AXi 2808/24, or maybe one of the 2814-series motors. Anyway, run 'em on a 3S LiPoly, and prop for 15-20 Amps, and you can't go wrong.
