    Hey, folks,
    I just received two shiny new FrSky Taranis radios in the mail. Unfortunately they did not include chargers for these radios. What input voltage/current do I need, and what size plug should I use?

    Sorry I missed you today. I seriously overslept after a wild night and didn't wake up until noon. I found the chargers listed on Hobby King, looks like they are simple 12v 500mAh AC adapters, the radio itself can charge the NiMH batteries.

    Yeah, it's a wall-wart. The manual very specifically states that connecting a battery charger to the radio will damage the internal charger and/or the battery.
    You missed seeing Evstafi run around the pool. The refit has seriously improved the turning, acceleration, and deceleration.
