Description
The DPR Kestrel Glider 1.57m - ARTF (part number DPRRC031) is a lightweight, traditional two- or three-channel soaring glider built from balsa and ply, aimed at beginners learning to fly. The airframe arrives 85% pre-finished, so the remaining work is fitting the hardware and radio gear using the step-by-step instruction manual.
The Kestrel has a high lift thermal wing section and docile flying characteristics. Its banded wing is designed to limit damage in a heavy landing. It suits relaxed hill soaring in a gentle breeze, and the motor-glider parts supplied allow thermal soaring on flat ground if no hill is available. It has a wingspan of 1,520 mm, a length of 930 mm and a shipping weight of 1.14 kg. The manufacturer recommends it for ages 14+ at a designated R/C model flying site.
