RE: Getting back into flying
I have been using lipos for years now without issues and I love them. There are rules to follow when you use them of course.
1 Use proper lipo charging equipment.
2 Proper battery installation insuring no sharp pressure points that can cause damage to the delicate battery skin or battery movement causing chaffing during flight.
3 Never charge lipos in the airplane, remove them and place in a firesafe container during charge!
