Hi All,

I'm selling my lovely Kestrel 19. Anyone interested?

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.

FYI - it was sold to Greg Zak at SOSA.

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!
