Default cheapest FP to CP conversion for DF / Hummingbird etc.?

Hi,

even though I'm having a blast with my new T-Rex I still wouldn't mind looking into upgrading the rotor head mechanics on my older FP GWS Dragonfly to collective pitch (120deg CCPM).

I looked at the cost of getting the individual replacement Hummingbird CP head parts but even that was around the $90+ mark. Is there an all-in-one CP upgrade kit out there for the basic Dragonfly / Hummingbird frame? Perhaps the parts from a Twister CP?

If anyone knows the cheapest and easiest way, could you let me know?

Thanks
