I thought the Pegase fuselage was a direct copy of the ASW-19 - easily
done, since Centrair were building the ASW-19F at the time. Then to

The fuselage is vaguely similar, as is the case with a lot of other
gliders of the same period. The wings are a completely new design from
the french institute for aeronotics (ONERA). Everybody having flown both
the Pegase and the ASW 19 know how their handling is different.
