Default Charger / Battery help

I'm thinking of buying a T-Hawk electric plane. I would get the upgrade 8.4V 900mAh NiMH batteries.
I used to race R/C cars and have a Pro-Tech 706 charger laying around. I see it can charge 6 and 7 cell batteries up to 1700mAh. Does anyone know if it can charge the NiMH batteries. I thought that maybe I would keep this charger if it can charge the batteries for the plane.

It can only be safely used for NIMH if it says it can charge NIMH. Otherwise you risk damaging the packs, the charger or causing a fire or explosion of the pack.

Most likely you would just damage the pack. Its only money!
