Default My GP ElectriCub Kit project

My current project is a Great Planes Electic Cub Kit, an I would like to share some photos with you, hoping for some feedback on my progress. Any hints/tips along the way would be great.

While the kit suggests a brushed geared engine and NiCad batteries (its an old kit), I would like to go brushless/Li-Po, and I was wondering if anyone have a suggestion on what kind of engine (how powerfull) I need to get this thing flying. Im not looking for extreme performance, but enough power to pull get me out of dangerous situations.

Here are some pictures. I got plenty of building time now as the summer holiday is not over yet. I got the kit just a few days ago, and already im done with the tail feathers and 90% done with the wing.
