TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro: P-Sport Hydro

[flraptor07]

I always found the Y547 an odd prop but, if it does the trick, good stuff! I would like to see the profile Dasbota created by the D/T'ing of that prop.

Ray I finally took some pics of that Y547, don't know if you can see what you want to see or not but here they are. DSC02350.jpgDSC02355.jpgDSC02356.jpgDSC02357.jpgDSC02359.jpg

Looks good, I've got one started that looks close. I might send some props to Dasboata if my hands aren't up to it. I always find it difficult to match blade shape. Hard to make a cardboard cut out and plasticine sorta works o.k.

Pics are great thanks.

does the Y have more pitch than a x447 ?

Modeling clay works best, I usually do my own props but he had the Y547 in stock.

Y and X are different blade profiles the 547 is more pitch than the 447.

Quick question. Has any one tried the Carbon Fiber hull Popeye as yet?

[ron1950]

none that I know of bracka69

[bracka69]

Ok thanks Ron

i would guess that they would have the same performance as the fg boats.....just made a little stronger

Got to run the Popeye again with the Y547. Mine isn't de-tongued. Temp was cool. 102 on the motor and ESC. 98 on the battery.
Removed all the extra weight I put in the tips of sponson, I need to adjust the strut, didn't have the right size tools ( forgot).
Noticeably faster than the X447/3.
Sorry about the bad driving, this is a new part of the pond and I was not too familiar with the water.

Note to Doby: your under the lake for a week , then burned and ran over in the parking lot MR200 receiver works flawlessly.

I like it.

Thanks, Paul, I got the prop when I read that you are using it , I wasn't familiar with the Y-series at all. I will do some adjustments and post back!

I wanted to be able to try an even higher prop setting on the Popeye, both P-spec and Sport....so out came the files. Here's a before and after pic.
