Digitals are great for helies.
The 9252 is one of the most popular servos and works very well and is not too expensive.
Your 6V NiMh pack will cook or at least drastically reduce the life of the gyro and 9254 servo. If you want to run the 6V pack you will need to put a 5V regulator on the Gyro and servo.
2700 mAh is the minimum pack that I would run with digital servos.
I have all 4000+mAh Lion packs in all of my helies from 50's through Gasser's. With your pack be sure to check it before each flight with an expanded scale voltmeter under load. You may just need to recharge at the field more often.
