Default RE: Fuel tank capacity

Hi Jim
You are right in most cases bigger is better. I have room to build a tank that will hold 1.2 Litres of fuel. The problem is that is a lot of weight and if I only fill half the tank there a lot of room wasted that could have been used to place servos, batteries etc further forward than currently planned. would 0.7 ltrs ( 24 oz ) be enough??? The alternative is to slap a prop on the engine and run it on the bench with a stopwatch.

Best regards Steve
