I know of the general rule not to charge inside the model, but I charge very lightly (only 1A out of the 1C 4.5A normal charge current) and also the compartment where the battery lies is well ventilated so heat should not build. But of course, time will tell. I guess when you charge inside the model, you should assume that everything can catch fire, and place the model in such a way that it would not burn down your house or garage if that happens.
