Even though I crashed it reinforced something I already knew. Watch the time, easy on the throttle, and as soon as the motor starts to slow just a bit, LAND! ASAP! Better to lose a little flight time than crash. I figured I had enough "juice" for one more lap. I was circling to land when it quit. It saves power to steer, and the motor can be restarted from the transmitter but only for brief taps of throttle to line up and land. BUT, if it's too low or windy, not enough. Well, lesson learned!
