Might be best to ask in the Electric section.

There are a bunch of diehards there that have done this and we still talk to them.

This is the place to convert electrics to glow engine power! But both directions of conversion get talked about at times.

For reference a good TD .049 will peak at about 80 watts output, a Black Widow about 60 watts, Medallion .09 RC 120-ish, TD .09 165-ish. Rough numbers but it puts things in perspective. It is easy to stuff some more hp in there when converting. It's also beneficial to swing a bit more prop at lower rpm to cut down the prop noise if that is a consideration.
