Default 05 electric = glow equivalent?

WOW! You have a large collection!

I was hoping that an 05 electric would be closer to .20-.25 glow.
So what they called the 05 Cobalt would equal to a speed 600? The 05 seems to be a larger motor. What about if it is geared with a 12"- 14" prop. Then would it be closer to .25 glow size? I have a Tamyia RS540 Black Sprint motor, with 7.2 volts and a
10x6 - 3 blade tornado prop, puts out much more thrust than a .10 glow. I thought this motor was about the same as an 05 because it is about the same size.
I have flown 36" .10 glow power planes but most of the plans I have are larger wingspans so I though they would be about a .25 glow size model.
