Default Electric Power Suggestions For Midwest Tri-Squire?

Hi folks: I am plan/scratch building a Midwest Tri-Squire (my first r/c plane back in '73) and am wanting to try electric for the first time with this plane. After all these years with nitro (can I say that here? [X(]) I admit to knowing little about what is needed by way of electric equipment. This plane is a 3 channel, high wing, tri-gear setup. I have been plan/kit/scratch building for a long time and picked out my wood carefully so as to save weight build-up. Normally I'd power this 53" wingspan model with a .15 glow engine. BTW: the plane will be flown from grass fields.

Can you assist me with suggestions as to a quality motor, ESC, battery size and whatever else I'd need to order to go electric with the Tri-Squire? Thanks!

Soft landings.
