The 500 and 550's are nothing alike. The 500's will use Align DS515 servos whereas the 550 will use DS615 servos. The 550 is a 600 size helicopter with shorter blades and tail. Same head, same tail block, same servos. So nothing on the 500 will transfer over unfortunately.

ok, so witch one is most like the Mikado Logo 10, on my logo i have DS361 servos, for head, do thy fit on either 500 or 550 ??

well, that logo 10 is running 500mm blades. The align 500 runs 425's and the 550 runs 550mm blades. So in reality this helicopter is neither. As for the servos, I could not find any info on what size they are. And not without lack of trying.

Well i guess it is going to be abit expensive, but what ewer it is only Money hehe i guess it is going to be a slow build of an 550 FBL with torque tail

thank you so mutch for your help

Here is a good servo database, looks to me that the DS361 is smaller then the DS515. They won't fit the 500. You'll probably end up buying all new servos.
