My boys (well 27 and30 yr olds) just bought me my first plane and the oldest sent me the link to this forum. So far I haven't flown due to a bad charger out of the box. But from what I've seen here, I sure have a lot to learn.

Welcome aboard. Bad charger right out of the box is not common. OTOH their chargers are one of the least desirable components in the kit. You might consider just getting a better one to start anyway. I'm a big fan of the Cellpro 4s. They are safe, simple, and reliable. They are having a refurb sale for $28-a fantastic price for one of the best lipo (only) chargers out there. www.fmadirect.com/products.htm?cat=89&nid=72There are a myriad of other suggestions in the battery thread. To answer your question ahead of time, yes, in most cases you will need a power supply too. It's annoying, but that's the way it works for RC.
