Do you think the 50oz (1500cc) is too much, or would a 32 oz (950cc) be right. I do fly a little hard and would like to get 8-10 minutes flight max. really no need for more than 10 minutes. Would a 32oz (950cc) give enough reserve fuel?

Yes, a 950cc (32oz) is plenty for 10 minutes. I have a 32 oz in my Pitts and have half a tank left after 8 minutes.
