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!
-
I almost forgot------A big thanks and Best Wishes to Mark Overmier for representing our judging corps.
Here's another shot of Kenny's SV.

Wow. .. Thanks for posting the pictures Les, I really like the cowl opening treatment, should really keep the air flowing across the electronics, a little like the p 40 warhawk chin opening .. Best of Luck , to all team members

That is one cool looking spinner! I wonder what it looks like when it's spinning.
Best of luck at the worlds Kenny!
-
That is way over my head. One gorgeous airplane. Looks like we will be well represented. Go get em guys.

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
-
Nice.

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~
Man, the stuff people dream up. HB~>

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"... ~^

Howard should like it. It's Orange.

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.
