Yes. You leave them in the plane and put skis on the bottom of this designated storage unit and fly it every chance you get.

Definately visit Red's site. I have a six foot w/12 outlet powerstrip plugged into a timer that I keep all my batteries and chargers plugged into year round. I hit them for 15 minues of charge every day, year round. Seems to have extended the "normal" life of my NiCads since I started this maybe three years ago. Of course, you still need to fully recharge them after every flight session. I still do a triple discharge/recharge routine about every three months and keep a log for each battery pack so I can tell when they are getting tired.
