I have had a couple different LiPo packs swell up during flight but never during charging.
Wouldnt charge those in the plane either.
To each his own, I guess. No offense but I wont park next to you either! ;-)


Remember there is a world of difference between a glo flyer charging his receiver pack and an electric flyer charging his LIPO power pack.

I think you are at cross purposes gents.

Thats both a good and bad idea. Slick idea but battery packs heat up when
being charged. You have a very possible fire hazard there.

Hi Dan,
maybe with Lipo etc but my Nimh just get warm after
40 minutes fast charge from a 13.8v 7A feed, the thought of overheating
did cross my mind but as I have never had a battery get so hot I couldnt
hold it in my hand I think it would work OK, all the hassle of removing
panels and turning a/c upside down, removing wings and so on can cause a
lot of wear and tear on an airframe in a summer of flying so looking for
ways to minimise it,

regards, Terry
