Default RE: turbine electric generator

taking apart brushless moters sounds allitle too advanced for me, lol, I was wondering, if I take apart a 5" glow DF (what's already in the fuselage) and use the fan on a shaft with a generator attached in front of the turbine, will the suction from the turbine spin it fast enough to produce power, without putting too much of a restriction on the turbine? also the reason I'm going so big is it is already built W/ 2 seized .91 DF engines (the engines are completly seized up, some not so smart person ground off all the cooling fins from the head so it would fit enclosed in the fuse)with all the ducting already installed, ( I bought it off E-bay) so I need to use a twin turbine setup, or ells I'd completly have to re-design all the fuslage formers, plus I like the Idea of have a twin. The wings, stab(I only have one, the other is warped beyond use) and the rudder are currently foam core sheeted in balsa with monokote covering, my plan is to make a mold and re-do them in carbon fiber being that I recently learned how to vaccume bag, and it seems easaly doable, and would result in a lighter, stronger structure.
