Default power supply for hovering

hi, is there any way for me to use my MRC super brain 969 pro to supply power to the heli while learnign to fly (micro)

i have bannana plugs, and wire, and a connector, i just dont nkow if i could put it on "charge" @7-cell, or something, or would it not work?

i do have a 9.5v power supply from a phone, woudl this be too much power for the equipment?

thanks in advance

A charger has to put out more volts than the battery holds in order for it to charge plus most chargers do not put out enough amps to power things, only to charge the battery. I wouldn't do it myself. You may damage the electronics in the heli and charger.

ya cant use the charger it just dosnt have the amp to do anything but charge, as for the power supply first make sure its a dc output. check the amp out put also its gotta be at least 5-7 amps thats 5000 to 7000 milliamps, most phone power supplies have like 300 to 500 Ma, just get some lipo batts your heli will fly for about an hour. Later

thanks, yea i have decided i will probably get a decent lipo becasue it will be lighter, lasts longer, and supplies more power.
