Stored at 70 degrees F (20 C) NiMH batteries will lose up to 40% of their charge within a month.
They also don't handle higher discharge as well as NiCd. And they shouldn't be charged at the higher rates NiCd can handle.
The best technique is to charge them the night before you're going flying.
I guess I stand corrected. I always trickle charge my batteries at 0.1 amps overnight. Just did two Sundays of flying on one charge and could probably get a third day if I wanted to.
