SF25C - 2000
TRAINING - SOARING - CRUISING
The SF25C - FALKE 88 follows the B-FALKE well-proved in several hundred planes. The two-place powered sailplane shows a low wing configuration, engine in the nose and side by side seating. High performance in its operating range, easy handling, robust construction, reliability of airframe and engine and exceptional low operating costs are the main features of the SF25C - FALKE 88. The SF25C - FALKE 88 has very pleasant flight characteristics and is docile when stalled. The aircraft has good soaring capabilities with either one or two persons aboard. Takeoffs and landings are easily performed. Effective airbrakes are provided for glide angle control. Good ground handling characteristics are provided with a steerable tailwheel. Particular care has been taken for a good engine exhaust sound damping system, and this combined with side by side seating permits good conversation between the pilots. The visibility is excellent through the blown plexiglass canopy. The SF 25 C - FALKE 88 - is perfect for training and practice flying in clubs. The powerful Limbach engine is equipped with electric starter and alternator. The 12-Volt electrical system will power many extras (nav-lights, VHF, VOR, ADF, horizon etc.) without difficulty. The aircraft can be assembled and disassembled like a glider very quickly and can be easily fitted on the average open trailer. Standard equipment: Airspeed indicator, Altimeter, Variometer, Compass, Tachometer with hour meter, Oil temperature meter, Oil pressure meter, Ampere meter, Cabin heater, Seat cushions, Spring main landing Wheel, Cockpit fiberglass sides. Options: Spring 2 wheel undercarriage. Fully folding wing, feathering propeller, 80 liter fuel tank.
