Interesting facts about the Scheibe SF-25 Falke
✈ The SF-25 Falke is a two seat, side by side touring motor glider developed in Germany by Scheibe Flugzeugbau. Many aircraft now operate under Scheibe Aircraft GmbH support.
✈ Common SF-25C engines include the Limbach L2000 series at 80 hp and the Rotax 912 series at 80 to 100 hp. Earlier SF-25B variants often used 45 hp to 65 hp engines.
✈ The airframe uses a steel tube fuselage with fabric covering and wooden wings with fabric covering. The configuration keeps weight low for efficient soaring and short field use.
✈ Typical club roles include ab initio motor glider training, cross country touring, field selection training, and currency flights during poor soaring conditions.
✈ Approved spin manoeuvres are not permitted on most SF-25 variants. Clubs value the type for stable handling and forgiving stall characteristics when flown within the envelope.

✈ Gliding performance is competitive for a touring motor glider. With the propeller stopped, published best glide ratio is about 23:1 at the recommended speed.
✈ The SF-25 family includes longer span Super-Falke versions and Rotax powered Rotax-Falke versions. Operators can retrofit avionics and engine monitoring for modern training.
