Eflite power 25 or similar will fly it with authority.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the help. I've been a nitro flyer all my life until 2 years ago when I bought a Multiplex Pilatus Porter electric. Lots of fun and now I would like to convert this plane to electric power.

Look at headsup here: http://www.headsuphobby.com/Large-30--60_c_378.html

This one will work as it gives 83 oz of thrust. http://www.headsuphobby.com/Emax-GT2...or_p_1688.html

You can always email them for suggestions.

Electric is nice. I have of fleet of all, some electric, some nitro and 2 gas. I flew a sig smith mini biplane at 5lbs with the power 25 and it flew well so should work well for you.
