550 versus 550sx?

[bstorer]

Hey folks,
I was flying an Outrage 550 for several years (yeah, I know... they stopped making those some time ago). Couple of weeks ago though I lost power while climbing inverted and, well... no parts available anymore so time for a new heli.

I decided I want a Logo 550, but have had trouble figuring out what the differences are between the 550sx... 550v2... and 550 are. And since I plan on keeping it for years to come, which is the newest version and most
Likely to have parts support for the future?

TIA

The newest version is the one with a yellow and red/orange canopy.

The 550SX V2 is the next earliest then the 550.

I had a Logo 500 and it is now with a club mate. That model is now 10 years old and parts are still available.

It has had a couple of birthday presents so now has the single piece head block and a shorter main shaft.

So if and when you crash newer parts can be used to keep the older models flying.

Plus plenty for cheap in the classified.

Hi,
Just for fun.
Coincidence, I also an old Outrage 550 that I planned to replace by a Logo 550 this winter.
I don't know for you but I planned to use all my Outrage electronic on my new heli except the Esc.
