Default Battery charging

Just got a Sig Rascal ARF for my first rc electric and find there is no charging jack for the 7 cell battery pack. Guess I could splice a lead onto the battery pack wires and mount a jack through the fuselage for charging, what do you guys do?

Most people remove the battery from the plane for charging. That's part for safety, and part because most of the time you'll end up with at least two packs for your plane anyways, and you'll want to swap them out to fly more often...

Sounds like the way to go Matt, where can I find the Mini-Tamiya connectors to put on the battery packs and charger? Only one came with the kit and I put it on the one battery pack, have checked the catologs, etc., and cannot find them listed.

I would offer the suggestion that you change out the connectors to Deans Ultra. They affaord a much better electrical connection.
