Default RE: the Invisible Mini

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: x-small">so i've always been curious about going electric vs. glow, and with the creation of a new plane, i'm wondering if anyone would be able to help with figuring out what all i need to convert this mini to elec power. not that i'm going to, but i was just trying to figure out the pricing of what size motor and all the other stuff i would need for it. i know nothing about electrics, but getting fuel around here is getting hard to come by, unless you have a car, or feel like waiting for a week to 2 weeks. of course it's a .40 size, about 5-7 pounds (not fully built yet, so not sure of all up weight), and i want to fly it through some general aerobatics, and get about 12-15 minute flight times. what all equipment do i need, and what are everyones thoughts on switching? my thought is how expensive is this going to be? because towerhobbies has a magnum .52 4-stroke for 130.00 USD that i'm eyeballing for it as well. </span></span>
