Tony Stillman reported from Poland that he went to a local car parts place
and bought a car battery and car battery charger for Jason to use in lieu
of charging from the car's battery while it was running.<br>

be pretty trick to try. As far as costs go, I'm a bit concerned about the
battery packs and charger needs. I've read the Li-Polys Jason's using are
about $325 bucks each so $700 for the plane (that'll come down in price for
sure). So, if I head to the flying field after work to bang off 4 to 6 practice
rounds in a couple of hours, how many battery packs and chargers am I gonna
have to buy to get this done? Will I be carrying a Honda portable generator
along to power my 'bank' of chargers as well? What is the re-charge time
for one pack?</font></font></font>
