Hi Beercan,

Welcome to RC Flight.

Assuming you are using NiMH, or NiCd packs, just buy a couple more of these and take them with you. They are very inexpensive now.

Buy a transformer that will reduce the mains voltage to 12v DC (rated to 5Amps should be good) which you can use to run your charger in lieu of having a battery inside your apartment.

Now to save yourself some dissapointment before you make your first trip out to fly your plane charge the pack, and then run it to flat (just inside your apartment with the plane teethered), charge it, and run it flat again. Charge your batteries the night before you fly.

You probably only need two batteries originally - if you manage to get through two packs in your first session you are doing well. Don't forget to take some CA with you - the easystar can often be repaired in the field. And don't choose a field that's two small. You probably want at least two soccer fields side by side.

There's heaps of good notes on how to learn to fly - see Aejar thread at the top of this forum. Get some sim time.

Good luck - don't forget to come back here and tell us all how you went.
