Default Hitec Micro 555 with Futaba 7 CAP

I have a Hitec Micro 555 that I took from an electric powered plane and would like to use in a new build of a Balsa USA Phaeton II (40 sized glow). I plan to use the Hitec HS 81 for the throttle, but I have several Futaba S3151 (digital Standard Sized Servos). I will need to get a new crystal for the receiver; the old crystal is for channel 38 (high range) and my Futaba 7 CAP operates on channel 21.
My questions are (1) will the Micro 555 have the same range as a standard receiver, (2) will it provide adequate power to the larger Servos, and (3) will the new crystal operate properly given that the Futaba recievers for these ranges are different?
Thanks,
Roger
