Default Pt Electric - Glow Conversion Question

I had posted in the Q&A forum and got no response. The Pt-electric is similar to the PT-20 but it is lighter. I am leaning towards an engine in the .20-.25 range. I am really looking for a lightweight powerplant to put up front. The stock can motor and battery weighs somewhere around 21oz. I think I can find a glow engine that weighs alot less. I'll need to beef up the nose end of the plane and modify the firewall. I'd like to remove some of the wing dihedral and perhaps add ailerons. I haven't built a plane this small in awhile so I just wanted to have some fun with it.
It's been gathering dust in the basement for many years so I'd figure I'd do a little kit bashing.
