Default Converting Rubber to Electric

I am a long way from actually doing this but it seems like it would be alot of fun. I have a Guillows A6M2 RUFFE seaplane kit. It is set up for rubber powered free flight. It has an 18" wingspan and balsa and plastic construction with tissue covering. The destructions even say you could put a .20 glow engine on it.

My question to you gurus, are there small enough components available to give it control surface movement & throttle? I have two JR radios a JRXF421 (5 Chan) & JR MAX6 (6 Chan). I also have the radio for my SkySailor, that is about as useful as ***** on a bullfrog.

This just seems as though it would be do-able. I know it would be a challenge, but if I could make it work, it would be pretty cool.

Any help, ideas, or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Here is a pic of the box.
