Motor Glider G-BUJI (Week 27 - Looking Up)

            Motor Glider.

Until I saw this, I never knew there was such a thing as a motor glider. It has a small engine, just enough to get it airborne to save powerful winches and being towed aloft by another aircraft.

Falke SF-25 - Motor Falke G-BUJI

The Motor Falke has a fuselage constructed of a steel tube skeleton covered with fabric, plywood and fibreglass. The wings are of wood plywood and fabric.

The engine is a four cylinder horizontally opposed air cooled four stroke based on the VW Beetle engine and modified for aviation use by Limbach. It produces around 80HP and enables the Falke to cruise at around 60knots.

The glider has dual controls with the pilots sitting side by side. Visibility is good and the glider has a wingspan of 15.53 metres and glide ratio of around 22:1. It has a central main wheel with outrigger wheels on the wings to keep it level when on the ground.
