The 17 m. Kestrel features camber-changing flaps that operate in conjunction with the ailerons, airbrakes, drogue chute, water ballast and retractable gear. The fuselage is a fiberglass monocoque (not sandwich) for greater resilience and pilot protection. The cockpit has room enough for a 198 cm / 6 ft pilot and features a control stick that…

The H 201 Standard Class version of the flapped H 301 Libelle first flew in 1967.
