WH Slick 540
Ordered the WH E-Slick 540 from Tom yesterday. Its going to be my 1 st electric ever, the Li-Po batteries scare the heck outta me thou. Been reading all i can on handling & charging these things. It will be a learning curve for me, hopefully nothing terrible happens with them... Got the charger, and a 4s 3300 li-po coming along with the plane & power pack. Cant wait to get started on it...

RE: WH Slick 540
woot. welcome to electric
1. dont fear the batts. yeah they can bite but follow charger instructions and battery instructions and keep an eye on them while charging and things will be good
one thing i wish someone would have told me when i got my very first electric and smoked it in the air and watched it come in fast.
fudge the numbers to the safe side on your motor and esc, run a timer so your plane can get back, learn battery c ratings and you will have tons of flights out of it
if i may suggest. pick up a second battery so you wont feal the temptations to bump the c charge rating up while charging (sure way to mess up batts). that way you can have one charging while your flying

The real benefit is that it can be recharged in 15 minutes (with the proper charger) and the pack can be recharged at least 1000 times, so I can have my pack permanently installed in the plane and just recharge between flights.
