<BR>Jeff, I have too many stories to pass along about burnt up airplanes which were burnt up by charging lipos in them. Thankfully none of those stories involves one of my airplanes...... <BR>
<BR>
Cell balancers are widely available and easy to use. <BR>
<BR>
For charging, ceramic battery 'bunkers' or fireproof bags are well worth the cheap insurance they provide. <BR>

<DIV>Jeff,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I went with 2-cell Lipo for my receiver like you did. I'm new to this battery technology so I did a lot of research and I came up with the following to avoid any horror stories. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. I use a combined charger/balancer for my Lipos</DIV>
<DIV>2. I pull the Lipos out of the plane while charging (I have them velcroed in and they are easy</DIV>
<DIV> to get to).</DIV>
<DIV>3. I store the Lipos outside of the plane in a safe place when I am not using them. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This system is not perfect, but it is the best that I could come up with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope that this helps, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
