Will this charger work with this plane?
I'm wondering if the AC / DC Swallow 2 Charger:
http://www.modelflight.com.au/rc_mod.../swallow_2.htm
will work for the ParkZone Focke Wulf 190 RTF:

I'm wondering because I've also got a F27 Stryker C that I know this charger will work great for.
Thanks a lot for all the help!

It should. The charger you link says it takes 1-14 cell NiMH, and the battery for the Focke is 10.8V (or 9 cell). You will probably have to change the connectors on either the battery or charger by soldering. I know the Parkzone P-51 battery and charger have tamiya connectors, but I clipped those off. I have changed all my connectors to Deans T-style connectors, which are listed below the charger.

I placed an order with them from the website link above for the charger... I then got an email canceling my order and refunding my money. The Seller had this message:
Message From Seller:
Item not compatible with US Voltages - order canceled
How did that work...?

It must have an Australian (or other) outlet connection. The charger will work with your plane, but not with your outlet apparently. I'm sure you could get a converter from somewhere, or just get an American charger.
