        Well I'm glad to say that the green Popeye arrived today. Complete with the separately packaged 4082 2200kv motor & cooler.
        Beautiful clear coat finish over all the paint & graphics.
        Here's a surprise. I had been discussing with May, before she left, that if TFL put welded shafts in their boats instead of the two piece ones (and advertised the fact) they might increase their sales. She said that her 'Boss' spoke to the design department to see what could be done.
        Guess what! mine has a welded 3/16" flex & strut.

        Don't know if I'll have time to get it ready for this weekend, but I'll give it a go.
        See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

                  Hi Monica.
                  I had just Emailed you to thank you & then noticed here on OSE that you already saw my post.
                  Yes I will do a mini build thread & post some video of the test runs. Hopefully this weekend if work commitments allow.
