Default Electronics for scratch built foamy.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the forum (new to posting at least), and I'm wondering if you can help me out. I wanted to try my hand a building a plane from scratch, just for fun. I have almost completed the build but am still new to the hobby and am a little confused by the elecronic part of it. I know what each individual part does however I'm still a little confused about things like KV on a motor and how to choose the right prop. So my question is, can anyone recommend me a motor/esc/battery/prop combo that will get the desired results? I'm looking for it to have parkflying charactoristics and serve almost as a 4 channel trainer. I did my best to model it after a small Cessna. Here are some specs and a picture.

Wingspan: 40"
Length: 31"
Weight: around 7.5 oz

If you need any more information, just let me know. Thanks.
Here is the link to the picture, I can't figure out how to upload it directly,

The wattflyer forum has stickys on all the electric stuff. It's where I have to go for anything electric. People here can be of help but on the WF forum I find it easier to understand. It's located at the bottom of the header bar that shows all the forums. All they speak is watts and volts. Great people there too and a lot of help.
