The aircraft has a conventional undercarriage and is powered by a single Rotax 503 engine in tractor configuration. Builders could make certain changes to the design so that there is a likelihood that no two examples are identical. The Kestrel was not available as a kit but many parts were available from Kestrel Aircraft and other suppliers, and seveal Kestrel trained constructors were available to assist owner-builders. The supplied specs applied to construction no. 003.
