Don't forget size 2

I wish.No way Casey and Carl are the only “Michael Jordans of sewing”.
Let’s get you high-level thread-pumpers to take AH over! Bring back the Kestrel and Kite, and don’t suck the life out of the new models before they even hit the rack!
I wanna see the first samples, you may have a customer for Kestrels. Especially if you can sew one up for a 7YO girl to use for a few years…For the record, I’m dead serious. I may have to email them myself.
I would want to get the patterns to support and foster quality, safe, to spec, builds for the DIYers on this site to continue the awesome legacy of aerohunter. I know we already have many great DIY clone builds, but I still think it would be cool to have the certified patterns.I wanna see the first samples, you may have a customer for Kestrels.

Email sent, fingers crossed!Don't forget size 2
I couldn't ever get comfortable in a kestrel. I had a lot of hip pinch. It wasn't until I went down to a size one many many saddles later with the flex and kite did I think that that might have contributed to the discomfort in the kestrel.I would be up for a kestrel. See if it’s as good as I remember
It’s not….. lolI would be up for a kestrel. See if it’s as good as I remember
Oh man, that's all I use is a kestrel. I did a 14 hour sit dark to dark and several 5-6 hour sits this year and had no comfort issues. That's why I haven't gotten a newer saddle. My kestrel is comfortable and I know it was made by a company where safety was a top priority.I would be up for a kestrel. See if it’s as good as I remember
Yeah I have my kestrel dialed in perfectly. Use an old bow sling as a detachable back band and my Mission platform and I can lean for 5 hours pretty well.Oh man, that's all I use is a kestrel.

Open source proven saddle design access would be pretty cool! I might be tempted to make a "to spec" kestrel if you can get the patternsEmail sent, fingers crossed!

"I heard you guys are shutting down and may be selling closeout items soon. Do you happen to have any Size 2 Kites laying around? If so, can I call dibs on it? Or can you make one last Size 2 Kite for old time's sake?"
Response:
Our closeout sale will be on our website next week. I know we don't have any Kites to sell, and the workshop is closed so we can't make more. I'm sorry to disappoint you!
