I have an electric RTF made of a standard-looking white foam that has
a bend in the fuselage between the back of the wing and the front of

a balancing charger with leads, USB cable, software and runs from AC or DC.
I read reviews on similar chargers and most of the reviewers liked them.
Anyone here have one of these?  If so, does it work ...

So far I know that a LiPo cell is 100% charged at 4.2 volts. I don't,
however, know what the danger reading is when discharging a cell. I
also don't know how to figure a 50% charge voltage for storage. I'd
appreciate an explanation of this basic stuff. Thanks kindly.

There are lots of small GPS receivers in the $40 to $80 price range, but
are there any that have some built-in memory (or maybe a SD or micro SD
socket) so that they can perform coordinate logging directly to memory
for retrieval at a later date?
