Default piccolo pro !!!!!!!!! i need help (i speak spanish and i speak english

HI, from argentina,,, hi, I want to know if my model " Feda model mixer and controller " has compatibility with Piccolo Pro ?.
I have a GWS piezo gyro PG-03 and a Feda mixer speed controller, all this
stuff will work with model piccolo pro ?, cause i want to buy the Piccolo Pro without mixer, radio, servos and gyro. I want to use all electronics of my dragon fly in the Piccolo Pro.
THANKS and im sorry i speak english not very well

How many servos can you plug into your controller?
you need at least five channels to use the pro,actually 6 ,the sitxh channel being used for the pitch servo.
you can use four channels but will have to get a y lead to control the pitch and throttle together.
This is not prferable becuase you wont have much control of the pitch and throttle curves,the chopper will control you.
Do you have a suitable radio for throttle and pitch curves.???

The pro is 3d capable as long as you can fly 3d.
You can use your reciever(6 ch),gyro ,your comtroller for speed,your 3 servos and i guess you could use your mixer for the tail if it will do that otherwise you just need a seperate speed controller for the tail and you are basiclly set up with seperate componantry that will allow you to fly any micro heli.

The question is do you use the 4 channel radio and a y lead to mix the throttle and pitch(the essence of cp)and struggle because you wont have any flexibility to mesh the two together
or do you invest in a good heli radio of 6 channels and above that will suit your needs for the years too come if that is what you are in to.

If you are learning micro heli then to learn with pro is hard enough but to learn with pro and no computer radio is going to be even harder,not impossible but not a good start.

If you want optimium head start,you also want to consider lithium battery and also brushless motor with brushless controller for maximum power(needed to do 3d)and flight time.

Nicad and brush motor maybe will give you 8 min
Lithium and brushless motor 15-20 min
