Kenny Stevens New SV-22 For The Big Show
« on: July 05, 2014, 04:01:59 PM »
Here is Kennys' new plane for the World Championships.
I have absolutely no technical information about this plane and I am pretty sure Kenny is to busy right now to share any specs but I wanted you folks to see what one of our representitives will be flying.
Best Wishes to all three guys----Orestes, Howard and Kenny!

It doesn't appear that the spinner nose radius is FAI legal, which I recall is something around .200" Radius. Otherwise, it looks absolutely wonderful!  H^^ Steve

Afraid they do!  Has happened before at recent World Champs and will be enforced again by the look of it!

The plane looks awesome! Not that I would expect anything less.

Mark is going to judge at the worlds? That is great if he is, we need a representative from the US in the judging pool.

Good luck to the team this year!!!!!!! GO USA!

 I wonder what advantage, or disadvantage, the shape of your spinner creates? LL~ LL~ LL~

    They think it is a safety issue. So, when you get hit in the head by a blunt spinner, you will die in a slightly different way.

That's it, Brett, safety. Besides, those electron powered models are safer, because they don't make as much noise.  :P Steve

UUUHHHHHHH...I think "INSTANTLY" either way.  Maybe with the blunt spinner it won't require a "closed casket"... ~^

If Orestes' plane is orange & yellow, that would make it unanimous. Orange jumpsuits would make it so special!  LL~ Steve

PS: I'd rest easier if I knew that Kenny Stevens was equipped with an FAI legal spinner, fancy stripes or not.
