Electric propulsion of cars have made electric motors and generators very light,efficient and reliable in no time.
Batteries have not improved orders of magnitude since WW1 submarines.
Let try if a single prop/electric motor driven by two single cylinder enginerators can be as reliable / low mass as best small conventional twin aircraft engine system to day.
I propose that a single prop turning 35 rev per second using max 200hp/150kW can be a good comparison point.
