The Seedwings Europe Kestrel is an Austrian high-wing, single-place, hang glider that was designed and produced by Seedwings Europe of Schlitters. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
The Kestrel was designed as an intermediate-level hang glider with an emphasis on a light empty weight, easy rigging and good performance. It is made from aluminum tubing, with the double-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The nose angle is 129° for all models.[1]
The models are each DHV2 certified and are named for their rough wing area in square feet.[1]
