Saw this poor, but interesting, specimen rotting on the ramp at KBXM (Brunswick, ME). Main gear tires totally flat and some silver speed tape poorly covering a hole in the left wing tip.

I might be in the market for a step up plane from my TN A36, but perhaps I will pass this one by…

Saw one thread about this guy about 6 years ago (viewtopic.php?f=49&t=147134&hilit=Kestrel) - read page one and last couple of posts only, the rest is mostly irrelevant.

Interesting airplane.
Pretty.

When I saw the thread title KESTREL - I thought of the original experimental aircraft that led to the development of the HARRIER.

That's the Proof of Concept airplane. Other than finances, I don't know why it wasn't viable. They merged with Eclipse, then went bankrupt.

Looks like a Jimmy’s World project.
