Default RE: Comparable Motor System

Here are the specs on the plane.

Span-64 inches
Weight- 41 0z
Wing Loading-10.4 0z per sq ft
Wing Area-571 sq in

Bear in mind that the weight was probably calculated with the heavy primitive setup and then available mini servos. Also, a separate Rx battery was required and a servo for "on/off" operation. I would guess that by today's standards, the plane would weigh no more than 35 oz. I believe an outrunner would work under the cowl. I would like some input as to either style, inrunner or outrunner. The selected electric prop would be an 11 x 7. Thank you!
