The Scheibe SF 25 C "Falke" VH GLA and VH GVZ
The Falke is the most popular motorglider in the world. Over 1200 have been sold worldwide. In 1997, the type was upgraded with a reinforced fuselage and either a 80 HP or a 100 HP engine, and thus became certified as a glider tug. It will tow a fully loaded ASH 25 and clear a 50 ft. obstacle off a grass field 2000 feet long. Our SF 25 C has a 80 HP Limbach engine. It will cruise at over 70 knots using only 12 liters per hour, and has a range of almost 350 miles. With the engine shut down, it will soar and glide about like a Schweizer 1-26. As any L/D can be simulated by using partial engine power, it is also an excellent trainer for any type sailplane. The side-by-side seating offers good visibility and with the low engine noise, conversation is easy.

The DG-500 comes in a number of sizes which all share the same basic fuselage. The 500T Elan Trainer, which first flew in 1989 has an unflapped 18 m. wing without provision for Water Ballast; retractable gear is an option. The front cockpit design has been purposely made similar to that of the DG-300 Club. The higher performance versions (DG-50022 Elan and DG-500 M) have a 22 m flapped wing and are, respectively, unpowered and self-launch models. VH-GKX  is the powered model (DG-500M) and has a liquid cooled Rotax powerplant on an electrically retracting pylon, digital engine instrumentation (DEI) and Water Ballast reduced to 100 kg / 220 lb and comes with a steerable nosewheel. The DEI, which has instrumentation in both cockpits, shows rpm, temperatures, pressures and fuel quantity as well as controlling the amount of fuel injected by the electronic fuel system. Engine retraction is automatic once the propeller has been stopped and centred.  All 22m ships, which have a four piece wing, have retractable gear as standard. Performance of the 500M is similar to the 500/22 Elan, but empty and Gross weights are 565 kg./ 1,246 lb And 825/1,819 lb Respectively.

ASK 21 MI

The Concept

The recipe is straight forward. Take a very popular two-seater and fit a proven and powerful engine for conversion it into a self-launcher. What you get is a very interesting aircraft that opens the door for highly efficient training on one hand and allows independent operations without gliding infrastructure on the other.
