Low fuel?

Okie swinger crash
I built this little plane from a free set of plans from a magazine, powered by an Enya SS25.
Flew absolutely fantastic but the fuel tank was small and I forgot how log I had been up (having too much fun). I noticed that I was losing height and throttled up a bit but still fell, tried to level out but it was in the distance and crashed through some trees 3 fields away.
It took a while to find but I got it back, repaired with a bigger tank. I have since bought one of those little kitchen timers just in case I forget again.
