My nexstar will stay up over an hour if i want it to. It takes almost 75ft to get it off the ground with that much fuel on board. It has a larger tank in the fues an two homemade bladders in the cutouts in the formers of the wings. at one time i had the vent tube running to the bladders in the wing, but i soon figured out that gravity worked well. I wouldn't ever do this agin cause it makes for a plane that handles real crazy at the start of your flight. Then it gets better as it runs lower on fuel. No aerobatics eaither. I guess it would be good for cross country or something.... I just had alot of time on my hands on a four day weekend...Don't ask
