RR Kestrel manual

Hello,

For a restoration project, I am looking for any documents/manuals regarding the RR kestrel (VII but other version will do too). Photocopy / pdf are welcome. If someone has the AP 1416, we can pay shipping, scan it and return it within 1 week. Maintenance / parts / overhaul / all detail are welcome.

We are located in Canada. Thanks !

Benoit

Hi Benoit, I’ve got a Kestrel handbook but I don’t think that it would be indepth enough as it’s not anything like an AP1416, i.e. no good for a rebuild. Incidentally are you restoring just the Kestrel or is there an airframe aswell?. Good luck, hope someone comes up with the manuals for you.
