Default RE: Electric v. Glow?!

ORIGINAL: cappaj1

Hmm. I'm thinking of maybe going electric on a brand new LT40.It has a wingspan of 70". Is there an estimator on their site to determine the size motor and batteries I'd want to get similar characteristics to a OSMax 46AX?
I have an LT40 that's electric powered. I had to put taller landing gear on it. I'm certain Ididn't motor it properly. It was my first plane, and my first conversion attempt.

And Ibuilt it a little heavy. But it does fly really nicely. I can give you the specs if you want...
