I am planning on purchasing an Echo 8 Helicopter from Hobby Lobby, Complete Package deal. (this is my 3rd Heli. I am an expierenced Flyer, But am still learning) I basically fly my helis within walking distance from my house and do all my battery charging right in my workshop or garage because I have a large empty feild right across the street from my house were i fly, so I don't need to bother with field batteries, I like charging all my batteries with AC or AC/DC Chargers using AC Wall current. I curently own 2 hornets now and the charger i use for them wont work on the Echo 8. Anyway, the charger that comes with the Echo 8 Kit is a DC Charger only, Now I plan on using the stock batteries that come with the Echo 8, they are 3000 mAh 8 cell Nicads. Do you guys know of an AC or AC/DC Charger that will charge those batteries from my AC wall outlet? I know about using a converter, but Don from Hobby Lobby said that I would need to charge the batteries Overnight if I use that AC-DC Converter. Also Does anybody know If and What Kind of Li-Poly battery and AC Charger combo I can use for the Echo 8, I'd rather go with Li-polys on the Echo 8 if I can right from the start, Cause I know I will eventually want that, Both my Hornets are running on Li-polys, and I like the results!

Thanks in Advance Guys
