The Turnigy charger is easy to use for me, but I have been doing this for many years. I do know the instructions are pretty hard to understand. I tried to read them and got nowhere, so I just played with the charger until I figured it out. It really is easy if you just make sure it is set for lipo charge and do not exceed the recommended charge rates for your battery.
Thanks for the Trunigy heads up, food for thought.

I do hear that some people take the risk and run two 2s in series with the LVC turned off... Plenty of fun, but alot of risks. Something that I wouldnt want to try...!
