Default New To Electrics

Hello!

I recently built a Great Planes PT Electric trainer for my little brother as his first plane.It comes with a direct drive 550 brushed motor, and a switch harness in place of the ESC. What sized brushless, outrunner motor, ESC, and battery would fit this plane?

I have no clue as to how electric motor sizes, batteries, etc would fit a model, and want to keep it cheap.
Leadershobby has some nice looking equiptment for sale at really low prices, but I'm not sure what is good for this size model.

56 in WS
3 lb AUW

Thank you,

Graeme
