RE: ***New Product*** USB Smart LiPo Charger 1-6 Cell

RE: ***New Product*** USB Smart LiPo Charger 1-6 Cell

Heathkit, built in the early 70's. Started to put it in a Bleriot, then moved it into a .25 trainer so I could learn to fly. Those were the days. I was a 2LT in the Air Force stationed at San...
