Thats a Beauty. Has the perfect gaser to fly it. Now, If you want to go Electric you will need to do some surgery to the front end. You are off to a good start by having a removable fire wall (
assume to have access to the fuel tank). The issue is where do you put the motor battery and how to have easy access to it.
I spend most of my time on RCGroups although I was a member here first. There is lots of large scale electric builds and conversions on RCG so I suggest you have a look for more help there. Here is a picture of what you can do if you are able to modify the front end of the Fleet.
