Without a large electronics modification effort? I think not.
The output of the piccoboard is power for a tail motor.
You want something to drive a tail servo.

Also, not being a true head hold gyro, you would not be as happy as if you used a Futaba gy401 or other capable head hold gyro.

I take that back. It IS doable.

Now, is it desireable? That part I still stand by from my post above. A true head hold gyro will give you a much better behaved heli.
