RE: Batteries
Trying to avoid the previous night charging chores has been has been like the search for Shangrila of most modelers since the begining of RC flight.
Yes there are methods and fast chargers, cigarette lighter adapters for you car (charging on the drive to the field) as well as new battery technology But and this is a big 'But' you would do well as a new flyer to delvelop the habit right now of always doing slow overnight charges of all your batterys before each outing everytime.
This also has the tremendous advantage of allowing you to do a careful preflight of your airplane while you are doing the choirs.
Many airplanes are lost on early flights simply because they do not understand good charging habits or are simply in to big of a hurry.
I agree with Edwin do not be embarased to ask questions, that is the intelligent thing to do.
