    I got about 5 mins run time on a single 4s 5300 Tim. I got both 4s 5300 packs in there now. Chris said it's too much wait and his Popeye didn't like it but I am solely looking for longer run times so I'm gonna give it a try...

      I have a single Turnigy 4S 8000mah 30C that I'm going to try in my P-Sport Popeye.. Now that I have the new flex installed and can try more aggressive props, I'll probably need the bigger gas tank. The weight is less than going 2P with my 5800's. Hopefully it will be a good compromise...

      If the water ever thaws up here though..........

            Hey Jeff L,
            Last runs looked like it was riding nice and loose.
            It could be the liter cell setup and the CG,
            But I am sure the choppy waters helped to.
            As for the videoing it looked pretty good for a blonde shooting it,
            What happen at 5:25 ?
            If she fell on her head than she should be fine,
            But not to sure about the camcorder.

                Sound like you got a very good deal to me.

                Hey on the hydro you might want to try the esc on the port side of the motor.
                That would give you more room for the cells to move around,
                And also adds some weight to help stop torque roll to the right from the prop.

                      Ok Lenny I am going to try that right now before I go take it for a few runs. My water outlets are on port side there but I think I can slide ESC over there. Just going to have to change up some of my water lines.
