Default Need advice for electric setup...

I have two gliders that I would like to convert to electric as I don't like messing with those little Cox engines. Anyways, I am asking all here on the forum to help me find a setup that I could easily switch between the two planes. I already have a transmitter and receiver and you can tell by their looks, I have flown them quite a bit. The larger one, Goldberg Gentle Lady, is in the process of being recovered and I may recover the smaller, Begin-Aire, although it is still in great shape, albeit a little dirty.

I don't know what all I need and am relying on those here on the forum to help me. Think of it as a little contest (with no reward, as I have no means to have one) who can come up with a decent setup that is easy on the wallet. If at all possible, if those that post a reply with a setup provide links to the parts. Since I am completely new to electric, full names of items would be appreciated (engine size, type of battery, etc.).

Please help me out cause summer is coming fast and I want to get my step-son out and fly!
