Ok, first problems solved - it was the power supply


So what is proper battery care and maintenance? I've been hearing about 'breaking in' a lipo power pack, of course after I've started flying my plane. I've got 3 more sets of packs on the way and want them to last, and to give me power throughout the duration of the flight.

-How do you 'break in' a battery pack?

-Do you always charge at 1C, and do you give the battery a break between flying and charging?
