Kestrels in Maine?

I saw the Kestral up close and personal on Sunday at Airventure 2010. I crawled through the entire cabin/cockpit area (I had to crawl cause I couldn't bend over far enough to duck-walk!)...

It's very much based off of the Epic LT.
 
Hmm the guy from Cirrus is behind it. Ive seen so many aircraft manufacturers start out from scratch and fail...hopefully this one succeeds like Cirrus did.

This looks like the Farnborough aircraft they were proposing in the UK..is it the same machine?

Edit: Looks like it is:

Rolls Royce Aviation was noted for naming various engines they manufactured after birds of prey,....such as the Kestrel. Most noted would be the Merlin engine that went into the Spit, Hurricane,...and Lanc.
