The Bergfalke-IV is a glider built by the German company Scheibe-Flugzeugbau. The model is the fourth and last in the Bergfalke series. This double floatbox flew for the first time in 1969, the year of commencement of production. History
The first Bergfalke IVs produced the Scheibe Bergfalke III hull. Later, the IV got a whole new skirt with a plexiglass hood of 1 piece like the ASK 13. Also, the nose was a metamorphosis, using a fiber optic, it was a bit slimmer and streamlined than its predecessor. Also, instead of a skate, the IV got a big untouched main wheel with a drum brake.
The wing is completely developed for the IV and looks a bit on the slim wing of the Scheibe SF-27, this new wing got a laminar Wortmann profile (FXS02-196). Furthermore, the chest Schempp-Hirth has brake valves that come out of the wing at both the top and the bottom. These valves are very effective. The rudder coordination is unlike the predecessors. nlike the predecessors.
