So i bought my first rc plane yesterday, i flew on a sim at the hobby shop for about 20 minutes, and thats pretty much all the experience i have in the realm of rc planes.
I bought a firebird stratos, was going to go with the champ originally but i decided the stratos might handle the wind here better. I took it out after work today and tried to get it up in the air but the wind was probably 10-15 mph and changing from eastbound to northbound, to keep it short i crashed twice on takeoff and broke a prop cone off the 2nd time (but i hot glued it back on so were good!). But boy when it actually got off the ground that was a rush.
Now that my story is out of the way, the geniuses that built the plane put a car lipo charger in it to charge the batteries, which is great if youre out, but leaving your car keys in your car for an hour unattended and draining your car battery is not, so i am looking for a lipo charger. Im not even sure if i need specific chargers for specific batteries. In any case the batteries are 2s 7.4v 1300mAh. Im also looking for something on amazon since i have amazon prime and hopefully under 50 bucks. Though any sound recommendations are welcome.
