A lot of guys have done it with great success. Do a search for the conversion and there should be lot of info to let you know what you are in for.

Ive heard that you can either keep the stock boom on or up grade
it to the longer one
what would be best for beginer.
i read that the shorter boom would make the heli faster but not that grat for aerobatics,is this true?

The purpose of the long boom is so you can use the 600mm blades. You will want to use these blades to make use of the power of this awsom upgrade.

Get an OS 50, no other engine comes close. However, some guys have had good success with the Thunder Tiger 50 engines.

I agree os 50 would be best,
is the os 50 ringed or non ringed?
if so whats better?

The OS 50 is a ringed motor and is great. ABC or ABN as some call them are good to but I like the ringed better. The OS 50 is a power house. It will be easier to set up and easier to handle if you do get the longer boom and blades. Otherwise you may run into trouble as a beginner.
