          Fast Lad list a conversion kit for the existing frames Fast Lad Performance which is the cheaper option, the best I've seen is the Heli-chris frame kit which replaces a lot of the standard parts and looks very good when completed www.heli-chris.de this could pay for itself if you shift the unused stock parts on Ebay.

            I've got one. It's a royal PITA. But when it works, it's fun.
            It was converted to M1 gears only yesterday, after losing one tooth from the M0.7 pinion. Let's see, whether those last.
            A downside of the fastlad / helidirect kit is that the contact point between main wheel and pinion is far away from the motor's bearing. I actually broke one 6 mm shaft after only a couple of flights. Reportedly, the helichris conversion kit - which has the motor top mounted - is better in this respect.
