Electric Pattern - Charging issues

[MKMSG at aol.com]

Charge your LiPo packs at home during the week.  Then you won't need a 
charger at the field.  LiPo doesn't leak off the charge like NiCAD or NiMH so 
charging during the week is an acceptable way to eliminate complexity at the flying 
field.  You can generally get a couple of pattern flights out of a Lithium 
pack of sufficiently large capabity.  At the present, the cost of taking 3 or 4 
packs to the field (for a 2 meter style aircraft) is very high....but then, 
since when was pattern cheap!!!!  Battery pack prices will drop as competition 
for your buck and mine grows.
