Well, I can't help you with that particular plane, but engines is engines for the most part. Take a look at my website. I cover pretty much what you need to do to get it running and maintain it. As far as the plane goes, if it's not covered in the manual, then call the manufacturer. The radio should be charged about 15 hours the first time.

Look at your battery pack and the charger. Both have Milliamp ratings on them. If the battery is 600 Mah and the Charger is 50 Mah, then if the pack is drained, it would have to charge for 16 hours.

Best thing to do is buy an automatic charger (peak detection) and you never have to worry about it. You plug in the batteries, it charges them, checks them constantly and shuts off when they're fully charged. A great investment - especially if you get one that operates on 12v so you can use it at the field. I don't even know where the chargers that came with my radios are any more.
