This is my first time dealing with everbody's favorite Hong Kong battery supplier so I didn't quite end up with what I thought I would.
I bought a 4S battery and a Turnigy ACCUCELL 6 to charge it. Then I noticed you need a 12V supply so I bough a Tur

I appreciate the updates of MP but I don't like to have to be careful to say NO to the update whenever I startup. I am staying with an older version that works for me but I could wipe it out anytime I startup if I screwup and answer YES to
