Seems everyone kept their Curares, I feel bad for selling mine. Mine had a Picco 60 and tuned pipe. The plane screams with this setup, the way it was supposed to. Anyway, about electrifying something like this, it would be nice to think about it but I just don't think it would be practical. I'm talking about "old school" like the Curare, Saturn, etc. These planes were meant to enter the box at tremendous speeds, do HUGE maneuvers, and scream out. Not only that, they were rather heavy for their size. My Curare weighed about 10 lbs with a .60 engine which is still good but basically the plane rode on its inertia. IMO, if you want to really do this, make a plane that LOOKS like an old school pattern plane but use lighter construction methods. Don't do the old school 1/4" balsa slabs for the fuse, rather, take a look at some of the newer planes and how they're constructed. Hope this helps.
