Plus it uses a LiPo battery (Lithium Polymer) which in itself is literally an explosive device if not handled properly. I fly R/C helicopters and those batteries are notorius for causing fires. They are fantastic batteries but highly explosive and flammable if not properly cared for (they can't be shipped by anything but ground methods). I keep mine in a fireproof safe when charging.
