RE: genesis engine
I have a Genesis with a YS 160 DZ. It's the best pattern plane I've ever had. YS 160 DZ is a great choice as it's the best running easiest handling YS ever I think. I have not flown any electric pattern planes but in looking into possibly converting over to electric I decided not to because of the cost. Price of additional battery charging systems, motors, flight packs, generators(?), controllers was too much for me. I'd make the same decision again today in building another pattern plane.
