TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro

[T.S.Davis]

Well heck. How did I miss the video. Looks pretty stable. I thought it might get flighty with all that air trapped under there.

John, one of us needs to build a Blade on 10s too. HOR sells those in carbon fiber too.

The vid was on a pretty calm day last weekend, the weekend before it was just me at the pond with about 15 Mph winds...there wasn't much of a difference other than it was a bit faster in the light chop.

TFL is sending me a second Popeye Hull to set up with P-Power...should be interesting to see what it does...I have a 2000Kv Leopard ready for it and might try a 1521 1.5D as well.

Those are a neat looking boat..

The Popeye looks bulky enough to take a 1527/1D. Yikes.

Trying to get P-sport Hydro to come back? Should be interesting..

Hey, P-Power (Voltages) are pretty much the most popular...so why not...Terry....any chance of running P sport Hydro at the Nats?

[T.S.Davis]

Absolutely. In fact, I'm building a P Sport for Fred out of that Reesor Whip20 I picked up from Nayman. I have SOOOO many builds to take care of this off season it's scary. Ordered a motor for 1/8 scale too.

Wait till you see this new mono hull. Absolutely beautiful to look at.

Wow. Great write-up on the new boat. Appreciate the speed reports and data. I was wondering when it would get the patented 'checkered flag' theme, and sure enough.....there it was!! Looks great!!

I am also building a P Sport. Thinking about getting the mid-sized ML Boatworks hull. The LSH version seemed to run so well last week!
I know of (4) people now in MMEU building P Sports.

[Doby]

Thanks...looks like hopefully the P Sport will make a comeback at the Nats next year..

[ray schrauwen]

Unfortunately since I sold mine I'm out. Been on the shelf for at least 3 years and no interest until now? Odd...

[T.S.Davis]

Not a replacement for LSH Ray. That's still where it's at.

Just another class some of our local yocals are playing with.

[ray schrauwen]

Awe I'm just sour grapes cause I burnt my PTSS at the cup. Should never of used an M445 without proper testing. A 4255 grimm would have been fine. I'm in the process of rebuilding it since it was toasted so bad. New motor mount, changes here and there...

What I miss are some of the N2 classes like N2 offshore. A MG24 would slip in real nice for that class... of course with hardware/drive mods.

Back to Popeye and the Sailor Man!!

hey ray...want my old PT LSH for P-Hydro? the green and white one.....

PM me ......and now back to Popeye!
