I am not going to spend $40 - $200 on a charger just to see if my kid takes an interest in this hobby. If he does, we will upgrade and grow.
But for now, I just need a cheap charger to get started, don't care if it is slow.
Would appreciate any feedback to help us get back in the air at a reasonable cost.
Thanks much,

Suggest you check with your Local ( or nearest ) Hobby Store.
Wall type chargers are likely available for $20.00 or less.
If your transmitter has a battery of a different voltage you would need a charger that can charge both or get two inexpensive chargers.
If you belong to a club some club members might help recharging the batteries at the flying field for the purpose of finding out if your kid remains interested.
Just some thoughts.
