See Wings and Wheels ad. Estate sale. Price lowered. Reasonable offer
considered.
This glider is too nice to not have someone enjoying it.

I can't seem to find it on W&W?

Its there. Use the search filter with Centrair in the "Make" drop down.
I bought one a couple of years ago and am quite pleased with the glider.
More of a pain to rig than my ASW 15 but not too much so. My biased
opinion is that the Peg is a great value.

If there's a choice between a Pegase 101 and a 90, go for the 90.

My club has a Pegase 90 that I flew a lot before buying my own glider.
The 90 essentially a 101D, but all controls have automatic hook-ups. More
recently a club member bought a 101D that had been overhauled and
upgraded to 90 standards as part of the overhaul, i.e. with self-
connecting controls fitted.

Not that it hasn't happened, but I've never seen a 90 (nor a B or D model, for that matter) offered for sale in the U.S. The access hole in the Peg is small and connections are made strictly by feel. Its not difficult but auto hook-ups would be convenient as well as safer. I don't think that one would find a better value in that price range.

I own a 101A with Wedekind sleeves installed - I put my Pegase together in 15 minutes from start to finish and NEVER have issues putting the spar pins in ot doing the control hook ups - it is a dream to put together and I have not met a previous owner that was extremely happy having owned one. And it is extremely forgiving (forgive me regularly) - it also climbs really well.
