Default Looking for a small kit

I have an old piccolo heli that's been wrecked a bit and from what I can tell parts are no longer available for it. It has a hummingbird brushless motor in it and all the electronics minus a reviever. I would like to put them to use but I'm not sure what size heli they would be good in. Any help would be apprciated, although it would be a bummer to hear all this stuff was useless.

Parts include:
Hummingbird Brushless motor by century
What I think is a castle or phoenix speed control
GWS Pico servos with the mounting tabs cut off (I forgot I had done this)
Cirrus MPG-6 Gyro

I think Duncan's RC on 35th ave and glendale has a piccolo heli still in the box. might be worth checking into.

Could be. I might have to give them a call. Thanks for the heads up. I have kinda been looking around trying to figure out what I could get. I was thinking a Firefox ep200 might work and its dirt cheap so if it doesn't who cares. I actually dug through all my old stuff just a few minutes ago. I'm astounded by how much random and useless, to me at the moment, junk I have.

Might it be that you still have a rotorhead (original part 68214) for a piccolo pro among your unused parts?

If you do the FF EP 200 please keep us posted. I have been itching to try it since it is so cheap, but I don't want it to be more of PITA than it is worth.
