    Traveling with LiPo's

    That fire has nothing to do with traveling, but only with the charging. The same could have happend when he charged them at home. You can travel with unbalanced LiPo's, simply being unbalanced won't cause them to catch fire.

    Newbie needs help

    The Ladybird has a 6-axis gyro stabilization system, so it is absolutely not "totally manual". Sure the Phantom electronics help you more compared to a Ladybird, but in either case you get help keeping it in the air.
