Default Question on Gas tank size

I dont have alot of gas engine flying experinece and was trying to figure estimates on flight time with a quadra 42 on a 106 inch cliped wing cub. I have a 16 oz tank now but im looking for something in the neighbor hood of 30 minute flight with safe landing i could live with 20 minute easy enough. Im aware that it will be relative to how hard i fly but just trying to hear others experince?
Thanks

Default Question on Gas tank size

If you want to run "full tilt boogy" for the whole 30 minute flight then I would suggest a 32 oz tank. However, if you plan to throttle back a little then a 24 oz tank would probably be fine. The 16 oz tank should give you a good 15 minute flight.
