I'm getting ready to install fuel tank for my Kolm IL-230. I wanted to ask a question on tank size for the engine. Others felt a 1500cc was good, I'm new with Kolm and wanted to get others insight. Do you think the 50oz (1500cc) is too much, or would a 32 oz (950cc) be right. I do fly a little hard and would like to get 8-10 minutes flight max. really no need for more than 10 minutes. Would a 32oz (950cc) give enough reserve fuel?
