Just be sure to remove the over flow tube before gas'n up! It gets ugly if you don't.

How long will your engine run with the vent plugged. Not long.

The problem I had was I flew one in one time and had to make an adjustment on the landing gear after it was basically full. I had to turn the jet upside down to work on them and plugged it. In my haste I forgot to take that plug off. I think that is what caused a crash because the jet basically just fell out of the sky nose down for no reason. When I looked at the debrey I found the belly with the plug still in it.

After that I have been really cautious about making that mistake again. Maybe I'm being too cautious but this method seems to stand out. The flags are a nice touch. I was just putting something together that I already had on hand.
