Mike,

This airplane should be a great candidate for e-conversion. It's very open in the nose, in addition to being top access. You have a ton of room for batteries, but I believe you'll be on your own as far as a motor mount is concerned. You can dremel the crap out of the firewall to allow as much airflow as you need, and this airplane is rediculously light. The only electric setups with which I'm remotely familiar are the ones run in the 2m ships, but it sounds as if you have experience with a power system for something this size already. There's no final weight on it as of yet, because Dave has yet to finish putting everything in it 100%. It's 99.9% ready to go, the only thing holding it up is the final equipment installation and to make sure the motor can turn a propellor.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I'll give a flight report on it as soon as I can tickle the sticks.
