    Yep, good chargers are not cheap.

    A curved pack isn't hard to do, you need to make a pack where the cells are side by side in one or two rows, not predomenantly end to end. Lay the cells over the curve to be matched (i.e. the tank) and hit them with hot melt glue (That's what I've assumed the glue is on professionally built packs, it's what I use when building packs) and then solder on your leads. There's no bending or stressing of anything to do after that.

    Unfortunately getting out to fly in the mornings is about the hardest time in my schedule - so it's up to openings in my schedule when I can, or for overcast days coinciding with me having time (low to no wind.)

      actually, i just thought of a better way. hold it onto the tank while shrink wrapping, with the wrap perpindicular to the long axis of the tank. i was just thinking in 2D, originally.
