What's it weigh*?
Multiply the weight in ounces by 11 -- that's the peak power you need from the motor, in watts.
Go shopping for a motor.
Divide 3600 by the motor kv, and round up to the nearest whole number -- that's the number of cells you need in the pack.
Take your peak power in watts, divide it by 3, then divide it again by your number of cells -- that's the current rating you need for your ESC.

Multiply the weight in ounces by 250, divide by the number of cells in the battery -- that's the battery capacity you need in mA-h.

So, to check my math, for a 50oz plane you need a peak motor power of at least 550W.
If you have a motor with a kv of 900, you need four cells.
550 watts, four cells, you need an ESC current rating of at least 46A
50 ounces, four cells, you need a pack capacity of at least 3130mA-h.
From memory, that's about in line with the 50 ounce planes that are in the "List your setup" thread -- feel free to check up on me, 'cause I'm too lazy!
People are flying 1/4-scale RC planes on electric -- there's motors and batteries available. The prices may seem insane -- but they're out there.
Note: as others have pointed out, Jack's planes have larger fuselages. I think they look fairly aerodynamically clean, so I suspect you won't get all that much extra drag. But I could be wrong. If I am then you'll drain the battery more, and will need more battery capacity and to a lesser extent more peak current.
