Herr Little Extra Bigger Tank?

I have a Herr Little Extra with an OS .10LA engine. My problem is the flight time is only about seven minutes with the stock tank.[:o]
I would like to get a four ounce tank in it if I can. Has anyone put in a bigger tank? If so what brand and size works best? What mods had to be made?
Thanks for any help:D

Just put a Norvel .074 in it. More power and longer run time, no fuse/tank mod nonsense...

I agree. To fit a bigger tank, you're looking at cutting into the formers that hold the stock tank in place. There's not a lot of wiggle room before you start weakening the nose.

I found a tank that will work without mod to the plane. Its a Sullivan Flex Tank. It can be heated with a heat gun and formed to fit.:D http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFU60&P=0
