Default What motor for electric powered atlanta 60?

Has anyone found a suitable electric motor to use in an Atlanta 60 sized plane? The nose gear dictates a prop in the 11 inch size if operating from short grass runways. I'm initially thinking 1500 watts(ball park figure) with an 11 inch prop should work. I've read a good number of searched threads in the Classic Pattern forum and most seem to use larger props or are fairly old threads. Please don't throw me into the alligator pond for asking this electric question.
