No stupid questions, just stupid people.

Ok, if someone could just point me in the right direction here without too much laughing I would really appreciate it. My UPS man arrived today with the Flash 5x Hitec radio, my GWS slow stick flight pack and a Wattage PF-12 Charger. The flight pack had a cute little 7 cell 400 mah battery that I plan to start with. However, I see no method of connecting the pack to my wicked cool looking charger. What am I missing here, besides the necessary neurons?

Thanks

You will need to make an adapter to get from one type of plug to the other. Take the pack and the charger to a hobby shop, and get the same kind of plugs and wire them together. There are a half dozen kinds of plugs, so the charger take the biggest most common size, and the battery pack is (or should be) compatable with the ESC you are going to use. Parkfliers generally have a much smaller plug since they are faced with less current and are made to be smaller and lighter...

robertstony,

Welcome to the connector of the month association. :eek:

Yep, get to the LHS and let them get things matched up to your charger, or buy the connector that goes to those new battery packs you just got.

Do you solder? I buy several connectors and plugs and then standardize what connects to a charger. That keeps it simple and going. Those little red connectors will be the ticket for a lot of flying.

Take Care,

Roger
