Hello...., I have been flying glow planes off and on for the past several years (maybe 15 or so), but cannot seem to find the time to consistently fly, so I would like to try electrics (an try to get my son involved more as well to fly at a local park). I have a few basic questions on eflight, so I apologize if these were answered elsewhere. My confusion is with the electric set up, the ESC's, battery, motor, etc, and I would like to get the new taylorcraft by eflight. Are the batteries, ESC's, servos, motors, etc from the different mfgs interchangable (ie, eflgith and hitech??). For example, if I have an eflight motor and ESC and battery, can I use a hitech receiver and hitech servos, or vice verso? I currently have an Airtronics RD6000 radio and would like to continue to use the radio, can I just get a flight pack from hitech for the channel of my RD6000 transmitter, then get an eflight motor and eflight ESC??

Another basic question for now (I am sure more to follow later)....., for charging the battery (lipo?), how many batterys should I consider buying. Do I charge these at home or at the field from my car's lighter, or both? Thanks in advance.., looking forward to trying this electric flight.
