Default LMH Vmax 7 engine

About the glow powered LMH's, They are lighter than the Electrics. I hear the electrics refered to as a flying brick. I have just about everything to do an electric conversion and boy is it heavy. I fell out of the sky yesterday from about 15 feet above ground. I was pretty much in a hover at the time. Wasnt monitoring my fuel level. Well, I ran out :stupid: . I was really getting into sporting the AH-6 Little bird heli fuselage. I was having a TC flashback(Its a Magnum P.I.thing)I completely forgot about gas. Just some very minor damage to the fuselage. Mainly just flattened out my landing gear. Squeezed my gear back to where it suppose to be and put some more fuel in and off I went again. . If that was a Corona, im sure the battery would have dislodged and would have had a boom strike. I didnt even have a boom strike. Then again Im using my new crutch design which gives me a higher rotor to tailboom clearance.
