TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro

[JimClark]

It looks a lot like a 5 Liter Hydro (Small V-8 powered Hydro)

The boat actually looks like a cross between a UL-1 and a FE 30.

Just ordered a new, properly balanced and sharpened X447 from Dasboata...mine is OK, but not great..

Robert (LiPo Power) and I were at the pond today and he took a few videos.. He even was so impressed that he sent Monica (TFL Hobbies) an PM to see about purchasing one!

The addition of the UL-1 turn fin made it turn "on rails" in the corners.

I'm liking this boat more every time I run it.

Reminds me of an over sized version of the old Andy Kunz UL1. Interesting how different the direction is on this. The Whips, Insane and even the Thomas have done everything they can to get the air out from under the tub. Effectively making them run like riggers. This will pack the air and keep it. Which might be okay with the shape of the top. Let us know how it runs.

TFL has sent me something interesting too. I'll have to make my own thread when I get it. It's a monster though. Ordered some psycho power from Steve for it. Need a place to race it though.
