I stumbled on another Kestrel for sale in Edmonton.

There is a good review of the Kestrel by Derek Piggott in this book starting on page 125.

BUMP and lowered the price.

$USD 16,000 or closest I can get.

I am no longer able to be PIC, so I'd like my lovely Kestrel to go to a new home. Useful pilot load is just over 250 lbs (before parachute!) and there is available ballast lead to allow down to 175 lbs pilot. Can fit large/tall/wide pilots: I'm 6'3" and 240 lbs.

A prospective owner should have at least 90 hours PIC and be comfortable flying a DG500 or similar 18-20 metre ship. The Kestrel has 35 degree landing flaps and a drogue chute for short field landing. Handles beautifully in the air and is fully equipped to take you anywhere.

Let me know if you're interested.

Congrats to Greg Zak. I'm fascinated with those machines and would love to see an example in-person one day. With those wings, you should get home most of the time - which is much better than towing that super-long trailer!
