I was wondering which of the following servos would fit the 500E Pro Super Combo (part # KX017015) without any modifications:

Cyclic:
- Align DS515M
- KST DS515MG

Tail:
- Align DS525M
- BK DS-7005HV (with mini size top)

I'd like to use brushless KST servos, but I don't think they will fit. And what about on the boom placement of full size tail servo (instead of in frame mini tail servo) ?? Is it a big pain to boom mount a full size tail servo??

thanks!

I use hitec hs-5245mg for my cyclic and align ds620 for the tail.
The "heavier" rudder servo actually helps balance my heli.
Get a trex 600 servo mount. Use the carbon fiber plate but throw out the clamp ring mount(use the 500 clamp ring mount).

I don't have experience with the kst servo, but it should fit. However, you should worry about the reliability of that servo and gyro combination. Do the research. If there is "no history" of anyone using them together. Forget about it. Unless, you just want to experiment. Versus, spending a few more and flying trouble free.

Private msg me for any questions. I have a trex500 FB, belt with over 6400 flights and only 21 crashes. Youtube: "trexinvert".

Good luck.
