Hey,

Well done on your win of the kit, that makes a great return on buying the ticket eh.

Personally, if your going the Turbine route with the MW54 conversion then I'd stretch the model to Condor size using 800mm+ mains and the longer boom.
As you need to buy the parts to convert to a 90 anyway, going that bit further will not cost you a lot more infact it will probably be the same as buying the 90 class parts.

The boom & tail drive are easy :

PREDATOR TAIL BOOM CONDOR 950MM : HW6062CH (Out of stock)http://www.centuryuk.com/Products/H...r+Spares?pos=70
TAIL SS TORQUE SUPER LONG : HW6063C (Just double check with Century this is Condor version)
http://www.centuryuk.com/Products/H...r+Spares?pos=75

Now, we found the gear ratio needed to be dropped from the IC machine to allow the Turbine to spool up to a higher RPM, this helps with power changes in flight.
I am running the 10T Pinion/Clutch Bell and

CLUTCH BELL ASSEMBLY - 10T : HW6013 (out of stock, sorry)

MACHINED MAIN GEAR - 93T CT DRIVE : HI6058D
http://www.centuryuk.com/Products/H...r+Spares?pos=50

The only upgrade I'd suggest is :

METAL ELEVATOR LEVER SET : HI6032A

You will need to make up some longer boom support struts to cope with the logner boom, I have 2 sets on my model cehck my gallery to see how I've done it.

Main blades, for the money you cant beat NHP 800's and they are what I am using and auto's are great with these blades.

Any problems or questions just ask buddy.
