DPR Kestrel Glider 1.57m - Kit

There’s enormous enjoyment to be had from a basic, easy to fly aeroplane that sets the pace, offers total relaxation and takes you to a calm and quiet place – both geographically and spiritually. Enter (with ‘grassroots training’ written all over it) the Kestrel glider, a lightweight two- or three-channel traditional soarer that’s as enjoyable to fly for its simplicity as others are for their complexity. In order to experience everything that model flying has to offer you need a hill, a gentle breeze and a Kestrel in your life. And if you can’t find a hill, build the motor-glider option and enjoy the challenge and reward of thermal soaring on the flat.
