Hi!
20oz tank is way too much! I use a 550cc tank for my MVVS 45cc engine in Aeroworks Yak-45.
Yes it is. I was thinking about that. 20 oz of fuel will bring the plane over 16 lbs. I have a 10 oz here that I will put in it. I do not know how long this engine will run on 10 oz so I should check it out before the 1st flight. Dead stick is not a good idea untill I know what this plane will do.

I have been flying big birds for 10 years, and flying for 25 years over all. I just have no idea on how well a plane this small will do with this much weight. But it is fun to find out lol
