You would be better off to buy a plane designed for electric power. It is not easy to convert most glow planes to electric. It is hard to get the batteries in the right place to balance the plane and then there is no hatch unless to make one to get the batteries in and out. Don't get me wrong it can be done and has been lots of times just most of the time not easy.

I think your looking for around 1000 watt motor like the E-flite Power 46 motor, a Castle Creation 60 amp speed control and about 4-5 cell 2500-3000 mah battery. This is just a rough guide to start with. Cheaper gear can be had at Hobby City.

I have never converted a glow to electric or even flown a glow so I am not the best to trust. Hopefully some more experienced dudes with chime in.

Cheers
