well i have ordered my speed controller and motor and prop and was wondering why I need to use a lipo battery. I am going to put this gear onto a wing can I get away with using a pack of eneeloop batteries.
If I do use lipo batteries do I need a special charger. Is it best to use a charger like Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 5A Balancer/Charger
Can I also use this charger for my other eneeloop batteries.
These are probably really dumb simple questions but I am very green when it comes to electrics in radio control stuff, so any help would be great

These are probably really dumb simple questions but I am very green when it comes to electrics in radio control stuff, so any help would be great quick answer - need much more details.. lipos deliver much more energy than eneloops. eneloops are not powerfull enough for a motor to power a wing listed charger is good - yes will charge eneloops also re..>i'm green...... what reseach have you done - where did you get your gear from Spend some time on rcgroups and plenty of posts on electric powered wings. Maybe start with ele bee threads cheers jeff |

DEFINITELY need a specific LiPo charger or at least a LiPo charging mode for LiPos, or you are playing with fire in a big big way.
Ability to use the charger you've specified for multiple types of batteries will depend on the charger itself.
