Default EP glider questions

Hi ... I am new to EP planes and I just purchased an OMEI 2000 EP glider (http://www.giantscaleplanes.com/Omei_75.htm), the kits is beautiful and the workmanship is brilliant. I need some assistance. I am not new to GP planes and GP cars but very new to EP planes.

My queries are as follow:

- what is the best power source (it has a 540 motor, but its larger than the ones on EP cars, looks like the ones used in GP car starter boxes)

- do I use the same stick pack for cars and if so 7 or 8 cells?

- will 3300Mah cells be too heavy for a glider of 3 pounds?

- will any EP car ESC do?

- what happens when the batt runs out, since the RX is powered by the same batt or need it not be that way?

Your input is really appreciated!!!
