Gtarling,
Thanks for your comments, here's another one from Hobby Lobby for the same airplane. This is probably more in line with your ideas.
Thank you for the opportunity to convert your Glow plane to Electric power. Here's everything you'll need to complete your Glow to Electric Conversion of the 1/4 scale DH Tiger Moth. This setup provides over 1700 propeller watts.

Notes:
Unfortunately I do not believe that this project can be successfully
done with Nicad or Nimh batteries. Using the highest discharge Nicads
that we have, your battery weight would be 9lbs.
Setting the end points for the throttle to mimic "scale speed" could probably handle the excess power and extend flight time.
