Default nitro to electric conversion- formula

Guys,
Intend to put electric power on a 6 lb Pitts which should do IMAC (non 3D) mostly as a parkflyer.

Question- Is there a conversion chart out here for nitro engines to electric motors? AC profiles and parsitic drag are understood and can be taken into account when the approximate motor is known.

Also, if the model says it uses a 12x6 prop with nitro (13K RPM) what would be the formula to get that performance from electric?

Thanks,
Jerry
