Always an issue ;-)

I am not clear on the charging process. Since the batteries are in the
wing, it sounds like you can’t recharge between flights without taking
the wings apart?


Planes with batteries in wing typically have a connector in fuselage
to permit easy charging whilst assembled (mine does).

Do ask however if charging system is set up for 110V as commonly available
in USA - reduced voltage means double current for same charge rate,
and unless all wiring and connectors are sized appropriately for USA
you get to double the charge time to keep the current within design limits.
Ask me how I know ;-)
Usually not a big problem if its "overnight charge" anyway.

If you have to buy a high-power 110V to 240V converter that's a nuisance!

See ya, Dave
