Default Sig Cap 231 info for first flight
And believe me..... the 500cc (16oz ) is enough a 24 oz tank will make the plane to heavy which will make the plane a not so good performer.......

This is not true...no way! I can tell you first hand that the tank that is supplied with the kit is TOO small. Remember we are over powering these things. The dubro 24 oz. is just right. I am running a Moki 1.35 burning fuel up @ 2.1 oz. per minute. with a 500cc tank it will get you about 6-8 minutes of flight...thats not enough for me, thats just enough to get started

Dead sticking because of running out of fuel is NOT an option for me.
