Seems if you run the engine much above 5000 RPM and slosh the oil around 
the pan (bit of yanking and banking) you'll see oil coming out the vent. 
Do you have a plate between the engine and oil pan?

If the amount oil vented is the same as amount scavanged from the 
gas/oil mixture, just consider yourself lucky that you don't have to 
drain oil between oil changes and consider it an anti-corrosion measure. 
Oh, never mind, you's a plastic plane.
