Default RE: the Invisible Mini

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?
OMG!!!! Don't give in to the DARK SIDE of the force!!!!!!

Just think, if you go electric, you'll be giving up some of your cylinder index!!!!

Every man needs at least 7-12 cylinders between aircraft.
