Scheibe SF-30 Club-Spatz

The Scheibe SF-30 Club-Spatz (English: Club-Sparrow) is a 15 m class single seat sailplane built in Germany in the 1970s and intended for club use.

With a 15 m (49 ft 3 in) span, it was intended to suit gliding clubs and inexperienced pilots, strong and easy to fly and maintain.

[2] The fuselage of the Club-Spatz used Scheibe's traditional steel tube construction, glassfibre skinned over the nose and tail and fabric covered between.

Its fuselage tapers to a conventional tail; the rear surfaces are wooden structured and ply skinned.

A straight edged tailplane is mounted on top of the fuselage, carrying damped elevators fitted with adjustable spring trimming like the ailerons.
