funcars · 05-13-2011, 08:41 PM

I'm currently building a Top Flite giant Corsair and assembling a Top Flite Giant P47 ARF.

As recommended I'm installing 2 separate batteries (6V @2700Mah) for the receiver and a separate battery (4.8 v @2700Mah) for the gas engine ignition.

The questions are:

- do I need a separate charge jack for each battery or can I parallel charge the 2 receiver batteries? These are both NiMh batteries.

- what charger are folks using to charge batteries in large scale airplanes? I'm hoping to purchase 1 charger to charge all 3 batteries.

I've been flying 40 and 60 glo size aircraft for some time so large scale in a completely new world for me so any experienced suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary A
