Afternoon all

New to this site, so I hope all your combined knowledge can give me some advice.

I'm looking at buying a Kestrel Mark 2 Microlight with a Rotax 582 engine. This will be my first purchase so a very nervous purchase. Would like to know if this will be a good buy for a newbie and get more tecnical info on this. Also if anyone know of a website where I can do some research I will appreciate it.

Very nice aerie, what do you need to know?

The only questions I would have is who supports it in SA if you need spares and which instructors can do training/conversion on it.

If I may ask where are you sourcing the aircraft from? It looks great but is there nothing on the local market that grabs your fancy. Ie, Foxbat, Bushbaby, Jabiru. These all have SA Agents so spares are readily available.
Just curious and not trying to change your mind.


Cheers, (^^)
