9,617 QuesoAirlines  7.8 years ago

The Kestrel is a lightweight interwar period monoplane inspired by the Supermarine S.6 and the Taylor Monoplane. This version is a strictly waterborne version of the Kestrel that has the goal of high speeds in level flight. The floats can withstand landings at 110 mph in the event of an emergency. Note that when taking off that the trim is all the way in the downward position so that the nose doesn't fall in the water and flip the plane.
