  • Confused again!

    Interesting Hobby this isn't it!
    After a couple of months of hard study Ive now worked out what i think i need to buy to learn to fly. I started with Phoenix then got an A9 and have now just got a 450 quad kit. The only thing I need to complete the set is a charger, simple i thought! However \i was wrong.

    Can someone please tell me what i need? I was under the misapprehension all i needed was a charger, a 106B looked nice, but do i need a PSU ( doesn't it plug into the wall?) and balance board?

    TIA

    I assume you're going to be using 3 cell lipos? The iCharger 106b+ is great, I have two. You need a PSU yes. Most off the shelf ones for RC chargers will do the job. If you only need a small charger, then a 300W PSU would suffice, but if you're going to go bigger later, it will be cheaper in the long run to get a decent PSU now. I recommend one of coolice's (member on here) 24v 1350W PSUs at £60.

    The charger comes with a balance board, so depending on the battery connection, you'll be good to go. You will likely just need an adapter so you can plug the connector of your choice into the charger.

      Cheers,

      I've decided on modding a server psu and buying a 106B plus. New issue is I cant find anyone with any in stock, is it about to be replaced?
