you're so right! I scooted off for breaky and I was thinking to my self.
"WHAT??? why not just upgrade the battery"
You're right going straight into brushless may not be the best bet for right now
I've checked out the dimensions on that 7cell pack needed for that plane (I have one here), it's about 6.5mm by 3mm by 3.5mm
and a great lipo of those dimensions would be this one here

its under $8!!!!!!!
all that is need to do is swap out the connectors/add deans to his plane and get a lipo charger or ballancing charger and he's have lots of fun with that thing for some time to come! Longer flight times to boot!
UUUm just remember to read about lipos and let your brushed motor cool down some before going up again!
Anyway it's the most cost effective upgrade for right now.
