Default Feasibility

I am considering building a twin, seaplane, electric. The "kit" versions go 23 pounds for the scale version I would want to do.

It most of the time - almost all the time will be flown off a runway as our field has no water, so working retracts help run that weight up.

Scale is 3 blade props. Wing span would be 104"

Is it feasible to build this electric?

How big of motors? (plans call for .60 2 strokes or 90 4 strokes)
One speed controller or two?
Do they sync if you use 2 controllers?
How big of Lipos? Looking for 8-10 min flights.
Thanks
Jack
