[NSRCA-discussion] Power batteries

[Ron Van Putte]

I got to thinking that I might not be the only one who is not sure  
about the proper way to store Lipos.  How about expanding on the  
thought Verne?

We don't actually have to store Lipos down here in Florida, unless  
you think a week or two without flying requires that you store them.
I'm going flying tomorrow:  Partly cloudy, 70 degrees, 6 MPH wind out  
of the northeast.
