RE: Convert old Sequel pattern ship to electric?
I couldn't agree less! I built an EyeBall from plans and a short kit. Powered it with a Hacker inrunner. Yes, it took a little creative modeling to get battery access, but it was more than well worth it. I did build it for nostalgia purposes, not for competition.
If you're interested, I think I have some construction photos I could post.

PS come to think of it, I did a build thread; probably on Wattflyer, but may Vintage and Antiques on RCU.
