Thanks for the reply Greg; I was thinking along the lines of the Cermark E-3D Banchee, Hanger 9 Funtana 40, Sig Somethin Extra etc. (4-5lb range) I'm slowly learning about the lipo's pro's and con's. It seems to me that if you treat these batteries with respect, there really should be no harm, only benifits. After all we walk around every day with cell phones in our pockets and don't think twice about the lipo's in them. What chargers have you tried/preferred? I would like something simple, yet flexible as I haven't given up on gas/and NiMh batteries yet. If I have to though I will get something like a Schultze, Astro, or similar. Thanks again for any/all help in getting started. I simply enjoy flying, and see the eventual writing on the wall for existing flying fields in my area if I don't do something. Plus hauling around these 18-23lb airplanes/equipment/setup, etc is getting old........Regards, John
