I'm a total noobie with RC heli's and RC stuff in general... The LHS sold me a LiPo charger that I'm not sure if I should hold onto or if I should return and get something better? The charger is made by Dynamite and is the model: DYN4060 (http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN4060). Some of the top end chargers cost a lot of $$$$$ at the LHS, so they told me to go with this one if I didn't want to spend a lot. Is this a good charger? If not, then is there a good charger out there that won't cost me an arm or a leg? They also sold me an astro blinky and told me to use it in conjunction with this charger on my LiPo batteries. I just finished building a TREX 450SE V2... so I'm using 3S LiPo's.

If you can return it, I would consider Cellpro 4S (from fmadirect.com). About $75 (plust about $20 for AC/DC if you need), does up to 4S 4A, has built in balancer, LCD display, very easy to operate and is considered in general to be very safe.
