Default RE: electric where do you start ??

So you want to do a .60 size electric plane? You might use a AXI 4130/16 outrunner powered by a 6 cell 4500 mah lipo and a 60 or better yet 70 amp esc. This isn't going to be cheap. Battery chargers capable of charging 6 cell lipos cost about $200. The batteries are about $280 each. I'll let you look up the motor and esc prices.

The look on the faces of glow flyers when they say "that's electric?" will be priceless.
