Andy,

Remember you had a LIPO pack pop in your F-4 at JOK last year on the flight line. I had a LIPO pack sitting in a plane for a few months, Me & Barry were going to go fly and I needed a battery so I was going to steal the pack from my P-38. As soon as I opened the battery hatch, the pack popped and went nuclear. Thankfully it happened while I was home and I didn't come home to a smoking home. I threw it out on the drive and dug a hole and buried it. It was still smoking in the ground after we got back from a day of flying. I then proceeded to get rid of all my LIPO packs and only use LIFE or Nimh packs.
