What should I check when buying a used Scheibe SF 25 Falke?

On a used Scheibe SF 25 Falke, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Scheibe SF 25 Falke

Aircraft overview

The Scheibe SF 25 Falke is a two seat, side by side touring motor glider built by Scheibe Flugzeugbau in Germany. The type first flew in 1963 and became one of the best known European motor gliders of its era, with production continuing for many years in several SF 25 variants. It sits between a conventional sailplane and a light sport touring aircraft: capable of self launching, local touring and soaring with the engine stopped. For buyers, its importance is practical rather than symbolic. The SF 25 Falke offers simple handling, low fuel burn and wide parts and maintenance familiarity in many European gliding clubs.

Performance & specifications

Performance depends strongly on variant, propeller and engine installation. Typical cruise speeds are commonly in the 70 to 90 knot range, with economical operation rather than high speed as the main design point. Later SF 25C aircraft are often fitted with a Limbach flat four engine of about 68 hp, while earlier examples used lower powered Hirth or Stamo installations. Some aircraft have approved engine or propeller upgrades, including Rotax conversions in certain markets. Maximum takeoff weight is commonly around 1,300 to 1,400 lb, with useful load often in the 350 to 450 lb range depending on empty weight and equipment. Practical range is usually a few hundred nautical miles, and service ceiling figures for later examples are often quoted around 13,000 ft.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin has two seats side by side under a broad canopy, giving good visibility for instruction, touring and glider field operations. Space is compact, and payload planning matters because many aircraft have gained weight through radios, batteries, instruments and interior work. Avionics are normally simple VFR fitments rather than integrated glass cockpits. A typical panel includes airspeed indicator, altimeter, variometer, compass, engine instruments, VHF radio and transponder. Many used aircraft also carry a portable or panel mounted GPS, modern 8.33 kHz radio, Mode S transponder or FLARM equipment where gliding operations require it.

Buying & value

Used Scheibe SF 25 Falke aircraft are usually valued on condition, engine status, paperwork and variant rather than age alone. Buyers should review fabric condition, wooden wing and tail structure, corrosion in fittings, landing gear wear, canopy condition, engine hours, propeller life and compliance with airworthiness directives or national permit requirements. The SF 25C is a common and desirable variant because of its more useful power, while early SF 25A and SF 25B aircraft may be cheaper but need closer performance and support checks. Current PlaneFox listing data shows asking prices around EUR 18,000 on average, with examples ranging roughly from EUR 8,000 to EUR 31,000, placing the type among the more accessible self launching touring motor gliders.
