    Default SV27R's second time on the water

    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!

    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

    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.

    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
