Yes they will fit. And you can buy the entire head and tail assembly separately.

I may be 14... but Im faster with my reflexes!

parts

where is a good place to get them from? also, what is the difference between the two, besides metal, and what does V2 mean? Sorry about all the questions.

Color is different, another thing is the v2(version 2) uses a thicker feathering shaft and uses thrust bearings in the blade grips.

up grade

I had the SA version and upgraded a little at a time. It is more costly to do it that way, so you might want to buy the complete head assy. as unit. Also the tail unit. That will save you a few bucks. Might want to think about CopterX parts, they are about 1/2 the price and are good quality.
Just a note I kept the composite swash until the last piece of the head to replace as it worked well and I hadnt broken it yet.
I still use the aluminium frame, so its not a complete SE but I like the frame as it is easy to bend back to its original shape after a bad crash(havnt had to replace it yet).
I would upgrade the landing gear to Gorrilla gear and paddles, they are almost unbreakable.
Just my 2 cents worth .

i've noticed the individual pieces are extremely expensive. i'll check in to copter X and probably get the full assembly (head and tail) but wait to replace parts as i crash. is this a good plan or just replace it all at once. i've heard metal parts will destroy more peices in a crash, as opposed to a plastic part that will give in one weak spot.

replacement parts

I have not broken any metal parts in the head yet but if you are concerned, leave on the plastic blade grips as they will break absorbing the energy of the crash.
I replaced metal parts as I broke them, which as I said is the more expensive way to do it.
The head and tail assy are the most critical, to replace, so do them first.
Good luck

CopterX V2 head is 60 bucks for the whole thing. about 60 dollars cheaper
tail is 25. almost 50 dollars cheaper as this is 100% complete even with a belt.

heli-bros you can get these parts fast here in the USA.

I did the same thing I have an SA that's become an SE V2.
only thing lacking is the frames.
