Tune,
yes, very worth the hassle...
I've got more use out of the lipos that I have and not had any problems (one is getting kind of weak, flight time is down to 10 minutes from the normal 13) but other than that, I've used them for two years, the first year on and off, but last year I flew every day and cycled each pack at least once daily (most days it was twice) from april to November when I put them up, and they are still good..
I don't think my normal batteries have lasted that long...
and I've borrowed my buddies lipos that are about the same age, and they still work great!
I think once you get past the initial cost and being scared, they are a great deal!
