I agree with you on the LiFe packs, but he was asking about lipo. And any battery or component can fail at any given time.
AND........ are you going to remove the onboard pack evey time you charge it? I charge my onboard packs in the plane. Have you ever seen a plane burn to the ground due to a lipo fire? I have, darn near saw a grown man cry at the same time. I'll stick w/ NiMh and NiCad's thanks.

Yes... It's the same as any electric plane with lipos. No I have never personally seen any plane burn to the ground with any battery, but I know it can happen with any battery, all it takes is a short to let the smoke out. You ever see a car battery swell up and blow or melt wires and catch fire? It just takes a little more caution and knowledge with lipos. I have 6 planes that I currently fly on a regular basis. 3 are Electric and 3 are nitro. 2 of the nitros have lipos with regs. I charge all lipos in lipo bags.
