Status: offline 		Hi, I used a 32 ounce tank on my 1/5 Mustang with a 40 cc. I would usually only fly for about 10 minutes. That's about as long as I could concentrate before I needed a rest. I would have more than half a tank left, a 24 ounce would be plenty.

Status: offline 		I am using a 32oz tank with a G-62 on a Yellow Spitfire. Centered on the CG. 20 minutes flying time with a little less than 1/2 a tank of fuel remaining. Plenty of loiter time...
