Default RE: Heli caught fire-nearly burned the house down!

..ok maybe I did something wrong, but I ran the batteries down learning to keep the tail tracked, but read somewhere they should be run down, to keep them in good health. I cant blame the batteries as they will prob go on fire if over charged, but if you look at the photo the lead from the battery is still plugged into the charger, and burned off the battery, so the charger kept on charging without stopping- hence the fire! so the charger must have been faulty? I donno i'm really pissed off, maybe i should have babysitted the battery and kept checking to see if the battery is gettin hot. even if ur supposed to keep checkin the batterys temp, there shouldnt be a risk of losin your house!
