What size fuel tank?
I have recently purchased a Vectorflight 66" wingspan Extra 300S(www.vectorflight.com). It is billed as a .60 size plane and comes with a 12oz fuel tank. The engine I have for it is a Magnum .91 XLS. I understand fuel consumption will depend on how throttle is used. The supplied 12oz tank seems a bit small for this engine regardless of how much throttle is used throughout flight. I am usually satisfied with no less than 15min. flight times. Can anyone make a recommendation on what size fuel tank I should have the supplied tank replaced with to achieve around 15 minutes? Thanks.

Always remember SIZE DOES MATTER, go for the biggest you can fit. I'm using an 12oz tank on an asp.91 i don't fly full throttle all the time I'm always playing with it. I kinder fly 3D/Fun. After about 10mins i come in with approx half a tank. But like i say to be safe always go BIG. Hope this helps.
