You should use a switch, power does not shut off.
You can hook it up directly but you will have to unplug the battery every time you land, a switch is much easier.

There is a two part answer. CAN YOU? sure you can. SHOULD YOU? Not a good idea. Unless you are using it on an electric and then you unplug the battery between flights. The use of a switch and charger jack for a 4.8V or 6V pack is really recomended.
