I just got a firebird xl which is an inexpensive electric plane. It comes with a small, 6 cell ni-mh battery pack that has 900 mah. what settings should I use to charge this on my Millenium? Should I just tell it to charge a 6 cell pack, even though they're just those little cells?

You shouldn't have any problems. Make sure you select NiMh on the charger and lower your charge rate. 1 amp charge would be a good start.

Cool, got it all charged and then went out for my first flight. 3 minutes later I realized that I definitely need to stick to ground-based vehicles. Hmmm.... Interesting concept though, and I'm sure that in the right hands, that little plane would be great, however with me it's a deadly weapon :)
