I got my battery pack and charger today. I decided to go all out and get a Thunder Power 2s 1320mah pack (im using the stock motor right now) and a GP triton charger.

I might fly my plane tommorow, Im just scared of ruining my battery pack since the instructions say not to discharge to less than 6.6v and my ESC's auto-cutoff is at 4.8v. I guess It wouldnt hurt to fly it for like 5 minutes or so (maybe I could set a timer?) but still yet I dont want to ruin a $35 battery pack. I guess I better go ahead and order me a li-po freindly ESC tommorow. I think ill get a kokam super 20 from tower hobbies, it looks to be pretty good and is reletively cheap ($33).

Havent tried the charger yet (dont have a power supply), weve got a power converter somewhere but I dont know if itll handle 13 amps. I might see about using an old pc supply or buying a cheap one. Weve got some old car batteries I could use but their all dirty and need charged so their probobly more trouble than their worth.

Like I said I havent used the charger yet so I cant comment on it too much but it looks well made, the instructions are well written and pretty thorough. I think for what the charger cost GP couldve at least thrown in some bannanna plugs and wire though, not that big of a deal (bannanna plugs are 4 bucks for 3 sets and I had wire) but for 130 bucks you'd think they could throw em in so you didnt have to purchase them seperately.

Anyayws, I guess tommorow once I get my battery charged I'll try out my plane, horizon says it has a 10-20 minute flight time so I guess if I just flown it for like 5 mintues it wouldnt hurt nothing.
