Default RE: 4 Star 60 build question

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: larger">I'm at a point in my build where I could use a little advice before I proceed. I need to cover the fuselage top deckportionthatgoes overthe fuel tank compartment. My concern is the tank size that I want to install. The plans mention a 12 oz. tank as the recommended size. I have a 12 oz. &amp; a 16 oz. tank. The 16 oz. tank fits perfectly and I would prefer the extra fuel capacity, but it cannot be removed once the top deck is installed. The 12 oz. tank could still be removed if necessary. Also, is there a problem using a 16 oz. tank with an OS 61 FX engine. I'm thinking that too large of a fuel tank may affect engine performance. I was trying to figure out how I could make a removable top hatch, which seems like the perfect solution, but I can't come up with a way to build it.Wouldit be a mistake to completly build in the 16 oz. so it could not be removedlater? I would appreciate any advice and pointers
I also want to say that I completed filling in the gaps on my wing seat. I did exactly as Seamusg had described and shown in pictures he attached. It worked perfectly, and I am very pleased with the results.
Thanks
