Default Please help

Ive been flying nitro/gassers for years and want to get into electrics. I've got a nitroplanes tucano that I want to go electric with. It's the perfect plane because it's narrow cowl and being the full size is a turbo prop, the sound of an electric motor would be close. Most of the planes are coming in at 12-15lbs and are using 1.20 four strokes and 1.08 two strokes.
I've been readin and reading, tryingto figure out the best motor/esc/batt combo and to be honest it's so much more complicated then gas power I'm on the verge of giving up. I would really appreciate some advice on what the more expiernced guys out there would use. I'd of course like as much power with little weight as possible.
I would really, really appreciate some help with this. Thank you in advance.
