If i were you, Try the Electrics section.. They might know a little bit more

RE: Q&A first micro plane
 
I'll say a couple of things.

For a decent flying electric you'll want at least 75 Watts per pound of flying weight, closer to 100 Watts will get a very aerobatic bird.

However, the Guillows kits are known to make lousy flying planes, so do so more research before you actually try to convert one. ;)

Try Ezone, they're exclusively electrics and have had many threads regarding Guillows conversions.

Good luck,
Dennis-
