SV27R's second time on the water

[osprey21]

Took my SV27R out for the 2nd time yesterday (1st run was on a small 'test' pond) and was pretty happy with it. After a flip or two it finally came to rest wet side up. When I retrieved it, I noticed the right turn fin had come loose and wasn't doing it's job. Plus I have to work on my driving.

I'm running a GrimRacer 42x55 balanced and sharped prop and Turnigy 2S 5000mAh batteries.

Can't wait till next weekend!

What is it with the SV27 that they flip so easy ? My formula fastech does 43.6 mph and i have never flipped it.

depends on how they are trimmed out
I've had my SV upto 53mph now and it does not flip

Looks good to me I would check the strut make sure its neutral.

Nice video, it looked like it was running good until it wrecked. I wonder if the setup was disturbed.

Very rarely did my sv flip. Same speeds for me. Only time it did flip is when i was pushing the limits, i.e 7xl on 5s

Are you mad!
a 7XL on 5s

I agree, the SV can be trimmed out but they are a calm water boat. Any wind bustin' up a perfect surface makes it a real challenge to drive.

Osprey, you have an amazing self righting SV.

either im crazy or an idiot lol not sure yet. If you look at my crash video in my signature the last crash is the sv on 7xl on 5s it was wicked!

Here's a 7xl on 4s running 53mph. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JSwz6hiRwc

I disagree with the SV being a calm water boat
I rather run my SV in some chop over glass
my SV really runs strong like that
