Default Recommended tank size

What is a recommended tank size for a YS 91? My GP Reactor bipe came with a 23cc tank but it looks small for this engine.
Thanks

8 oz from the factory for a 60-91 sized bipe? I use 12 oz usually on my YS 91 powered planes so I get some decent flight times. Make sure you use a good qulity tank as the last thing you want is cheap tank that wil split under pressure and soak your new plane with fuel from the inside out.

I use an 11 oz tank for hard 3D on a 6lb. profile with YS110. Gets me about 7-8 minutes with a little left in the tank when I land.

23cc? IF that's what it actually is, I don't think I'd try it as that's not even an ounce....

I don't run any 91's but have a couple of 110's and the way I fly I can figure on about 1oz. per minute fuel burn, so I use either a 16oz. or 500cc (that's about 17oz.) on those engines.

Thanks everyone, apparently my tank is 230 cc's not 23 cc slightly less than 8 oz. I maidened my reactor wit the 91 ac and for my flying style I think I'll be ok.
