Default Slow Stick

This must be answered. The airplanes are different from each other.

The Pico Stick is at best an "indoor/no wind at all" flyer. If you try to fly a Pico Stick outside in anything but the slightest breeze you will have your hands full. And most likely will rekit the plane.
None of the equipment you have listed will work for the Pico Stick except the Transmitter. You will need new servos, and a reciever. The ESC might work if it doesn't weigh too much. But, weight is much more critical on the Pico Stick.

The Slow Stick is a much better option. It is much more stable in the wind. You can also use more of the current equipment that you have already.

You can get a GWS makes a "flight pack" for each of these planes.

The flight pack will contain 2 servos, an ESC, a Battery, and a reciever. You will still need to purchase a crystal for the reciever seperately.

I'm not a fan of the reciever in the flight pack, but it will get you airborne.

The flight packs cost about $75 - $90 according to which one you get.
