Hey TBruce. I've been thinking about that as well as the size of the tank. Talking to Gotz vogelsang, he felt 1.5 L (50oz) would be about right for 8-10 of flying. I guess this IL-230 will burn fuel. My Moki just sips it. So anyone with input as to the size tank, it would be appreciate. As for placement, I was thinking about right over the CG or basically centering over the wing tube,. I'll set the tank in there an take a picture. 50oz is about 2.5 pounds of fuel, so I thought would be best location, also limits any CG swing from takeoff weight to landing.
