Thank you so much carrellh. I just placed a shortcut to the address on my desktop. Will be ordering one as soon as possible. Thanks again.

IGNORANT QUESTION : I own a Futaba T4EXA, Futaba 4YF-FM, Hitec Laser4, 2 Hitec Neon-SS and a Tower Hobbies System 3000 radios. (yes, I have a small collection going here that many would say I don't need - but I am guilty of an obsession that I love spending money on this hobby, and I want different radios for different planes I own). But anyway - Back to the question , will I need separate charging lead connection wires for each brand of radio system I own. Or will alligator and bullet clips be enough to charge almost everything?

Will I be needing one each of these for each system I own? http://www.servocity.com/html/rx_cha...ana_plugs.html and
http://www.servocity.com/html/tx_cha...ana_plugs.html Or does the charger come with the wires needed?

And what about my electric airplanes? What charge plug wires will I need for those? I will need plugs for the battery packs as well.
The charger does not come with any leads.

If you get a lead for "Futaba" receivers, it will work with Futaba, Hitec, JR, Airtronics, etc.

Transmitter leads are somewhat brand specific. The 'barrel' on Futaba and Hitec are different diameter. Futaba & Tower use the same one. JR leads are reverse polarity compared to all other brands.

You found the right links but they don't have a very good description to tell you what they fit. I recommend making a phone call to be sure you get what you need.

For the electric planes, you will need the right plug. I don't know much about those, maybe the servocity people will know what you need.
