Default RE: How long should I be able to fly?

Rule of thumb that works for me is an 8 oz. tank will last you 10 minutes at full throttle and give a chance to go around a time or 2 if needed to get the landing right. For 46 size engines, make it a 10 oz. tank. For engines larger than this the fuel tank size needed for a 10 minute flight varies widely. [8D]
