Default Converting to Electric

I am just getting back into the hobby after about 12 yrs. I have noticed that electric is really really popular!!! All I ever was involved with in the past is glow, but I have to admit with the advent of new motors and batteries i think this may be the way to go!!! My question is.....how do I figure out what I need in terms of motor and battery size if I want to make a couple of my planes electric???? Specifically I have a Great Planes Stuka kit in the box (.60-.90), and a Top Flite P40 kit in the box (-60-.90). I am getting my 10 year old son into the hobby and his excitement is thru the roof!!! I think we may want to build these planes but go electric if possible. It just seems less of a mess and much easier. Anyway thanks in advance for any suggestions.
