What size fuel tank would be good for a 26cc gasser? 12 or 16oz Generally same H & W, 16 just 1/2" longer. What would be appx. run times on these tanks.

Thanks, Rich

I have a 17oz tank and do 15 minute flights.
I still have over half a tank left, and I do a lot of wide open flying.
I would say my CRRC 26cc burns about 6 oz in the 15 minute flights.
I would say a 10-12 would be plenty.
15 minute flights are long enough for me, need a break when the whole flight is only 15 feet off the ground.
