The Kestrel Jet Helicopter Construction Manual The Kestrel is a single-seat ultralight helicopter powered by small jet engines mounted on the tips of the rotorblades. This form of power eliminates the need for a tail rotor, simplifying and reducing the cost of construction. If ordered separately, the jet-helicopter construction package is available for $23.95 (+$3 postage US, $7 foreign). This package includes the Vortech Catalog. Please note: this manual provides an overview of the construction of the jet helicopter, showing frame construction and many details regarding the integration of the control system, jets, fuel-flow system, and rotorsystem. The manual provides a schematic view of the rotorhead, but does not detail the construction of the rotorhead, rotorhub, rotorblades or jets. Vortech sells a jet-helicopter rotorhead and the jets, or these parts can be built from separate prints. However, their construction is complex and requires machining..
