Description
The DPR Kestrel Glider 1.57m - Kit (part number DPRRC030) is a traditional builder's kit for a lightweight two- or three-channel soarer, constructed from balsa and ply. It is aimed at newcomers to radio-controlled flying and is designed around simple, relaxed flights from a hill on a gentle breeze.
The kit uses CNC-cut wooden parts, a full-size plan and a step-by-step build manual, so it suits anyone who wants to build their own model. The wing has a high-lift thermal section and is held on with bands, which helps limit damage in a heavy landing. The flying characteristics are described as docile. Parts for a motor-glider option are included, so if there is no hill nearby you can build the Kestrel with a motor and try thermal soaring on the flat. The finished model has a wingspan of 1,520 mm and a length of 930 mm. The manufacturer recommends it for ages 14 and over, flown at a designated model flying site.
