I think that by posting my return in the Beginner forum that I gave everyone the impression that I am a beginner. In some respects, I guess I am, as so much has changed since I have been away. Just before I got out, LiPo's were becoming popular, along with the stories (and pictures) of them swelling and catching fire .

For the batteries, I will go to my LHS (King RC) and buy batteries that match what I have. I never did more than 4 flights in one day, and like to use my wall wart chargers.
