I just built my field-box and I am ready to equip it with the electronic goodies. I know I need a power panel, gel battery and a quick charger. I welcome any suggestions as to which models and manufacturers are the most reliable and easiest to use. I am on a limited budget so I need to stick with the basic stuff instead of the high-tech digital wonders. I have seen the SIG Power Panel and the Hobbico Deluxe Power Panel, but did not see anything about a gel battery to power it.

I do not know anything about this equipment other than I have to have it in order to fly, so I do not know which features would be nice to have. The plane is a SIG Kadet Senior ARF using a TT-Pro .61 engine with a K&B long reach glow plug. The radio is a Hitec Laser 4 kit with one 600 mAh transmitter nicads and one 600 mAh receiver battery. I'm not sure if I am going to use a hand or powered fuel pump. I will also be getting an portable electric starter to crank the engine.
