RE: slow stick
well, that depends on what sort of cells you have. a nice charger to start with is the LASER, about $30 Australian (about $10-$15 US) was what i paid for mine (dunno who makes it) it charges 4-8 nicads ok(it takes 40 mins though). if you wanted to get something that could do just about anything, go for a great planes TRITION, as the can charge just about anything you can dream of flying for now.
