Best to wait, he might want electric anyway. If glow, the choices are fewer than they used to be. Probably an ASP 32 or 36 would work well. A 46 AX is too much for a beginner on a plane of that size, in my experience as an instructor.

You're killing me, Jim! There are no provisions in this kit for a conversion to electric! The O.S. .46 AX Is the perfect choice for this, and any other 40-sized plane. Why are we even discussing this?!!
