I wanted an electric GeeBee. I looked at the GP but concluded that at it's 11 lb weight, I'd need 1,100W to power it.
It would be so expensive that I looked around and found the Adrian Page 1/5 GeeBee kit. At 6.5lb I can power it
for a lot less $. Yes it's a kit but it is also half the weight.

I have since gone to a slightly larger motor 22/30/2 and 17X12 prop.
