Was inverted about 75 feet up an my engine quit... thank god for knowin autos...i set it down in a plowed field about 75 yards from me...i am glad the field was muddy... because my heli just stuck perfectly upright in the muddy... the blades were hitting some dirt but being it was soft no damage... Not sure why it quit ... i had 1/4 tank of fuel in the main and a full header... i am running the carbsmart.... any ideas?

are you using red sealent on the muffler? i use this stuff and it can get sucked into the engine and end up in the coil of the glow plug.

Start tracking down the problem methodically.
1- remove the header tank and check 2- remove uniflow and check 3- remove pressure from muffler leaving it to open air. Open main needle about 1 turn and check 4- check tank sealing with pressure 5- replace all fuel lines and check
