Vereinseigene Flugzeuge

Das Rückgrat unseres Vereins: Die Flugzeuge! So unterschiedlich die Typen auch sind, so unterschiedlich sind auch deren Flugeigenschaften und Verwendungszwecke. Gerade diese Vielfalt -von 48PS in der Turbulent bis zur 10fachen PS Zahl in der P2 - machen den großen Spannungsbogen unserer Flotte aus. Jedem aktiven Mitglied steht nach Erfüllung aller Voraussetzungen, jedes dieser Flugzeuge zur Verfügung. Da hier natürlich ganz unterschiedliche Anforderungen an den Piloten bestehen, haben wir die QUAX-Pyramide entwickelt. Jeder Flieger ist Kasko versichert und wird von unseren vereinsinternen Fluggerätmechnikern und Prüfern, sowie von technikinteressierten Mitgliedern unter fachlicher Anleitung in Schuss gehalten. Da wir kein statisches Museum sind, versuchen wir jeden Flieger in flugtüchtigen Zustand zu versetzen und in auch dort zu halten. Demnach stecken wir auch annähernd 100% unseres Budgets in den Ankauf und Erhalt dieser Flugzeuge. Außer der D-EBEI und der D-EDNU sind alle hier aufgelisteten Flugzeuge im Eigentum des QUAX-Vereins.

D-EQXA

Bücker 131 Jungmann

D-EQXA - Bücker 131 Jungmann

Carl Clemens Bücker founded the Bücker Fkugzeugbau GmbH in Berlin-Johannisthal on October 3rd, 1933. His Chief engineer was swedish Anders J.Anderson who designed the Bü131 "Jungmann". In Germany alone more than 3000 Jungmanns were built, including all the licensed production abroad the total numbers pass the 5000 mark. Our D-EQXA was built in 1951 as a CASA 1.131 in Spain and therefore carries a Tigre G-IVA delivering 125 hp, instead of the popular GermanHirth HM504 engine.

D-EQXB

Stampe SV4C

D-EQXB - Stampe SV4C

The Stampe SV4C was manufactured by the Stampe and Vertongen Factory in Belgium. It was founded in 1922 in Antwerp. The SV4 is equipped with a hanging Renault 4 cylinder engine with 145hp. The Stampe carries ailerons on all 4 halfwings, a major design step versus competitiors like the Tigermoth that only carries single ailerons, resulting in a much better manouverability of the plane. Our SV4C was built in 1948 s/n 1086.

D-EQXG

Dornier Do 27

D-EQXG - Do 27

The QUAX Do 27, s/n 429, was delivered to the the SAR Squadron at Fassberg airbase in Germany on November 12th, 1959 bearing the registration LC+155. After the unit was transferred to Ahlhorn airbase in 1964 the transport wing LTG 62 became the new operator with the BMSpFlgGr, the base flying club getting the most use out of it. QUAX restored the Do over the course of many years, she now bears the delivery paint scheme and is equipped with a Lycoming GO-480-B1A6 6 cylinder engine.

D-EQXD

Klemm 35 D

D-EQXD - Klemm 35 D

The Klemm KL35D was designed as a trainings and sportsaircraft in the 1930s as the successor of the renowned Klemm L/KL 25. It was built as an open tandem cockpit low wing aircraft. Our KL 35 D was operated by the Swedish Air Force as Fv5050 and was registered after her military life as SE-BGD under private ownership. After some time in the US, where she was restored by Lars de Jounge as N505Q she eventually made her way back to Germany via the UK.

D-EQXL

Boeing Stearman N2S-3

D-EQXL - Boeing Stearman N2S-3

QUAX without a Boeing Stearman...unthinkable. Our D-EQXL joined the fleet in 2012 and is our workhorse. Designed and built in the same era like other biplanes the Stearman od Kadet as ist was also called, is quite a big bird, with excellent flying caracteristics that made her perfect for basic training.

D-EQXR

Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann

D-EQXE - Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann

Our Bücker Bestmann project is an all original german aircraft, built at the Rangsdorf Bücker factory as s/n 331396. We received it as a donation in dire condition and in need of a complete overhaul. Our restoration is guided by the absolute adherence to originality using as many original parts that can be saved as possible. We managed to rebuild the wooded fuselage with our own manpower and have delegated the restoration of the wings to well known aviation woodwork specialist Sascha Häuser in Potsdam/Berlin.

D-ENAY

Focke Wulf Fw44 Stieglitz J

D-ENAY - Focke Wulf Fw44 Stieglitz J

Another FW44 Stieglitz, this one belonging to the QUAX Club. It has undergone a complete restoration some years ago with the main work performed by one single member. It is a very reliable and fun to fly biplane with excellent flying characteristics.

D-EJUK

Klemm 107 B

D-EJUK - Klemm 107 B

60's aircraft?? Well, not really. Hard to imagine but actually the Klemm KL 107 was designed in 1938 originally. With WWII in the way, only 7 airplanes were built before the war, these ones being the first version with 2 seats and the Hirth HM60 engine. After WWII Germany was finally granted permisiion to start its own aircraft production again resulting in the Klemm factory to be amongst the first to start the production with the Kl 107, now a 3 seater with an Continental O 320 4 cylinder engine.

D-EGAW

Pilatus P2

D-EGAW - Pilatus P2

The Pilatus P2, a predecessor of the later P3, was designed starting in 1943 and used quite a lot of parts from c´very well known German planes of the time, the landing gear of the Messerschmidt 109 E as well as control parts and the V12 cylinder Argus engine. The maiden flight was on April 27th 1945, just days before the end of WWII. The Swiss military took delivery of a mere 54 airplanes until 1950 using it as a trainer aircraft. In later years it was also used as a commuting plane and target tow until they were decommissioned in 1981. Some of them went to private owners, the Quax P2 was s/n 49, built in 1949 and wears the livery of the prototype.

D-EBEI

Messerschmitt Bf 108 B "Taifun"

Messerschmitt Bf 108 B Taifun

D-EBEI was manufactured in 1940 at the Regensburg factory carrying s/n 2246. The Messerschmidt Bf108 was a milestone in aviation in many ways. Equipped with a 240hp Argus As10C engine the 108 cruises at 140kts, a very fast speed in its days. D-EBEI was aquired by the DLBS, the Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung in 1990 and put back to meticulous flying condition in a multiyear restoration effort. In July 2019 QUAX was offered to operate the Taifun on behlaf of its owner and QUAX gladly accepted the honour.

D-EJLU

Bölkow 208 Junior

D-EJLU - Bölkow 208 Junior

Our Bölkow 208 Junior was yet another donation of one of our enthusistic friends of aviation. We operate this lovely little two seater since 2014. The Bölkow is an all metall design by Swedish aircraft engineer Björn Andreasson who actually planned the plane during his tenure in the US and designated it BA-7. In the initial stages the aircraft was powered by a Continental A-75 with just 75 hp, while our model has a 100 hp Continental engine installed.

D-EFOM

DHC 1 Chipmunk

D-EFOM - DHC 1 Chipmunk

D-EFOM, our 2nd Chipmunk is powered with a 6 cylinder opposed engine by Franklin. You can recognize the different shape of the cowling quite easily, but apart from that update it is just like any other Chippi. The 235 hp conversion was installed in the 1960s in Germany by a Glider Club that was looking for better performance in the Chippi. Well, guess what, she is a dream to fly with lots of power and a very smooth engine.

D-EUTO

Bücker Bü 180 Student

D-EUTO - Bücker Bü 180 Student

The Bücker 180 Student, an absolute rarity. Bücker built only 23 of the Student at their Rangsdorf factory in Germany, two of which are known to have survived the destruction ordered by the factory. Our Student is the ONLY aircraft in the world that is in flying condition and was built in 1939 with s/n 2115. The Student went through a complete restoration performed by the previous owner before we were able to aquire it.

D-EDNU

Do 27 B3

D-EDNU - Dornier Do27 B3

This Do 27, s/n 401 flew on August 3rd, 1959 for the first time as AC+959 and stayed with the manufacturer until its delivery to the German airforce flight training unit at Ütersen airbase in northern Germany. Between 1964 and 1975 she flew as JB+901, MC+901, 56+92 and finally as D-EDNU with the militray flying club of the FBW 43 at Oldenburg airbase. Starting in 1987 she was operated by the Kaufbeuren flying club before she was bought by the DLBS, the Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung, and received a complete overhaul. The DLBS used the Do to train their airline pilots to tansition to the JU 52 providing a good tailwheel introduction. In August 2019, together with D-EMEI , the Me 198 Taifun, we were tasked with the operation of this Do on behalf of the owner.

D-ETJD

Stark Turbulent D.31

D-ETJD - Stark Turbulent

How small can a full grown airplane be, one might think. The Stark Turbulent has a max takeoff weight of only 350kg with a wingspan of just 7,15m and is definitely our smallest plane and a single seater. No wonder, the 4 cylinder opposed engine, a Stamo 1400 B, is basically the same engine used in early Volkswagen Beetles and Porsche 356s delivering only some 44hp likes to be flown in calm weather.

D-EHVR

Piaggio Fw P149 D

D-EHVR - Piaggio Fw P149 D

Like our other Piaggio FW P149 D this is a spacious 4 seat plane with good performance and quite a comfortable ride. Although initially designed as an airforce trainer, this airplane was in private ownership since 1971 and is even IFR equipped. The previous long time owner took it across Europe and donated it to the QUAX Club shortly before he passed away.

D-4760

SG 38

D-4760 - Schulgleiter SG 38

Back to the basics! In the early days of aviation training in gliders was on single seaters with the instructor yelling at the student from below. The SG 38, called the Schulgleiter or school glider, designed and built by Edmund Schneider and Ludwig Hofmann, was industrially built more than 8000 times, let alone the thousands more that were homebuilt in uncounted gliding clubs. Our SG 38 is currently undergoing a restoration and is scheduled to be back in the air this year.

D-5455

Schleicher Ka 2b Rhönschwalbe

D-4763 - Schleicher Ka 2b

Early in his career aircraft designer Rudolf Kaiser drew up the plans of the Ka 2b for the world famous glider manufacturer Alexander Schleicher in Poppenhausen/Rhön, the central mountainrange in the middle of Germany. The 2b was an improved and enlarged version of the 2a and reached a gliding number of 27 with a bigger wingspan. Our Ka 2b is currently being restored by our members at the Leverkusen base.

D-4764

Grunau Baby II B

D-4764 - Grunau Baby II B

Two glider pioneers of the early days, Edmund Schleicher and Wolf Hirth, designed this training glider in 1931/32. Our version IIb was a later development starting in 1936.

D-0858

Schleicher ASK 13

D-0858 - ASK13

The mid-wing Ka 13 is the successor of the K 7 and was built by Schleicher until 1980. The fuselage consists of a fabric-covered tubular steel construction and, unlike the K 7, has a spring-loaded landing gear in combination with a skid or nose wheel. With an empty weight of less than 300 kg the ASK 13 is one of the lightest two-seat gliders and one of the standards for training. This Ka 13 with serial number 13341 has been part of the Quax fleet since the beginning of 2020.

D-1826

Ka8 D-1826

D-1826 -Ka8

Unsere Ka8 D-1826 haben wir 2020 von einem Gönner erhalten, der sie in guten Händen weiterhin fliegen sehen möchte. Die Ka8 ist das perfekte Übergangsflugzeug zwischen den damaligen Schuldoppelsitzern, wie Ka2 oder Ka7. Sie wurde bis 1976 hauptsächlich beim Alexander Schleicher Segelflugzeugbau gebaut und ist eines der meistgebauten Segelflugzeuge. Unsere Ka8 1964 mit der Seriennummer 03/8165 wurde bei Schempp-Hirth in Kirchheim u. Teck gebaut. Dieser robuste Schuleinsitzer wird zur Ausbildung eingesetzt, da die Flugeigenschaften sehr gutmütig sind und kleinere Reparaturen in den Vereinswerkstätten ausgeführt werden können.
