I scrapped my colco bird for parts and am looking at getting an FP Piccolo...but I have a question:

Can I keep my old colco transmitter and use it with the FP Piccolo?

I don't want to spend lots of money getting a new radio when I have one that works fine...so if I can't work it with the Piccolo, is there another good FP heli that I can use my transmitter with? Many of you are probably familiar with the colco transmitter and can answer this question

Also, does the FP Piccolo have a shaft driven tail rotor? Are there any FP helis with a shaft driven tail rotor? I'm tired of burning out tail motors and I don't want it to be a problem.
