I have a CG Lil' Wizard and would like to convert to electric.
I did a quick search on this board and saw nothing on a sheeted wing.

Any suggestions before I just wing it?

  I would think that any basic electric system for any 1/2A airplane would suffice. The Wizard isn't very draggy, and even with a lot of power, you can dial it back at the speed controller, correct? The nose is kind of longish, but may provide more than typical room for the battery and electronics. If balance is an issue, make the tail moment an inch longer, or use bass wood, or hard, heavy balsa for the tail surfaces. With a flat out5board side, you could stiffen up the nose with a doubler that gets sanded and blended in to the rest of the fuselage. In thinking about it, I don't think I've ever read where someone has done an electric conversion, but this far down the line , I would think some one has and has figured it all out. If not, may be make a good article for Model Aviation magazine. It just occurred to me that you might want to review threads by Larry Renger on his pusher trainer, the ET-1. Between that and what Brodak recommends for their Baby Clown may get you in the ball park.

The plane had a Golden Bee on it.
I'll see what I can scab up. This is for my grandsons.

I found this pdf a few days ago as I was thinking of a Guillows Stuka. A couple of years back I saw a picture of the 500/900 series model at "small-teen" inches with a PeeWee in the nose.

Not wanting to run wet fuel with dope or PU finish I thought electric might be doable. In the end it looks like E-power is just a smidge over sourcing nitro-proof whatever and another PeeWee.

It opens a PDF with the smalls up high and the bigs lower down.

PS for Mr. Paul...I tried Cox engines for my young boys back in 2016. They tolerated my desire to share one of my childhood hobbies, but they hated the racket, er, sound of music.

In hindsight I should have started electric.

Thanks Jim

  That's what Sean started out with at the age of three and soloed! I built one for my grand daughter but don't think it's been flown yet. She does have time on a TuffBaby though!
