TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro

Looks sweet sounds great so far. Too bad I wasn't there to see it but, I will soon. I don't know if you would get 3 laps on a course like Michigan with the 447 but, It'll be cool if you can get 6 or 7!! Nice graphics, looks really good.

Looks like you might be on to something there. I to should stop by and see this bad boy running. Motor temp 119 I think I'm doing good if mine comes back in @ 135-140 with a M445.

Sometimes it's the UL-1 motor. Some of the old ones may be more robust than those of recent.

Well, it is a 2ish year old motor.....

Thanks Ray.

I think it will be fine for the 6 plus a mil lap........next week I'll start messing with the strut to see what else I can get out of it....pretty happy right now though...fresh batteries might help next season as well.

Suck to be you

We need to get together this fall for a day of racing....I'll try and figure out a date..

[ezhitz]

That sounds like a plan. At least I know I can use it to keep my hands warm in the cool fall weather lol

wow, is it "POPEYE"? Looks far different. Your design makes it look flying even when it is standing still.

Starting to look pretty...

Just curious....how do you order one of these? Went to there web site and didn't see any ordering place. Might be my operating system lol

Hi John,

I have to admit, the Popeye is much pretty after you gave it dressing up. You have good handwork!

Added an old UL-1 turn fin....again, the original one did a surprisingly good job, but in race conditions, I think it would not be up to the task.
