Hello all,
I bought my 12 year old son a $50 r/c foam plane toy the other day and we had such a blast "flying" that thing around (and retrieving it from the tree tops) that we're now dying to get a REAL r/c plane and learn the craft one step at a time (we haven't yet decided between the tiger moth, the slow stick and the scooter pro 2 from all the reading we've done on the subject).
But anyways, our question is (don't laugh!): how does one recharge the batteries on the field when neither an outlet nor a vehicle of any sort is available? The toy plane we purchased had a base recharger that used 8 large C batteries and that worked pretty well (seemed odd at first to use batteries to recharge batteries) but from what we've read so far nothing seems to indicate that this applies to the more sophisticated planes as well.
Or does it? All the sites selling this things just assume you already know a lot of stuff and it can be a bit frustrating when you're trying to get a start from scratch.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
