Default RE: JetCat 180rx

I'm going to assume I had an air leak. After pulling out the tanks I noticed that one of my rubber stoppers was brittle and could be letting in air. I'm going to blame myself and not the engine for now. I am replacing the stoppers and rebuilding the tanks. Hopefully this will lead to many happy flights with the engine.

Because I am in a video posting mood this week, here's the flame out flight. The commotion at the end was due to a buddy about to taxi out as my plane was dead stick.
