Default How does a header tank work?

Hi all,

Was flying my heli, happily blasting it round the sky, seeing how fast i can do a figure of eight and seeing how high I can do stall turns when i banked a little too far on the entry to a left hand turn to intentionally go slightly inverted and pull it round in a sort of half loop and my engine slowed down to almost stopping. I managed to pull out but not quick enough so managed to land on my skids but my tail isn't exactly straight any more.

What everyone is telling me is that when i did that, the clunk in my tank took a bit of air and that's gone straight into my engine and caused it to pretty much stop. I have a caliber 30 and don't have a header tank (although I'm now getting a Raptor 30 one to fit). I just wanted to know if anyone knows how they work.
