Pegasus Life span in USA

I am assuming your thinking about pegasus on wings and wheels
i am also struggling weighing whether to consider such plane.
I am glad you asked the question, good updated info.

Well yes and no...

We are looking for a glider for Freedoms Wings Int'l...needs to be able to
be fitted with hand control rudder...we know that the Pegasus already has
been so fitted...

So the W&W glider is a possibility...or we will wait for another..

Plus the "funding" is still pending!

The French soaring federation is in the process of having a new system of hand controls manufactured for the Pegasus; the original system made and certified by Centrair was no longer available. The new system was recently approved by the DGAC (French FAA), the EASA STC is expected shortly.

If somebody is interested in buying one, he/she can contact the F.F.V.V. at .

Thanks for the info...We are already in touch with the parties in France
regarding the newly approved hand control.

In fact this is what stirred our interest in a Pegasus in the fist place..

Wow. That is some thorough research Bob had done. On the face of it, it seems the FAA made all sorts of glaring procedural errors when enacting this AD. Let's hope there exists sufficient grounds to have the whole AD rescinded. Unfortunately, the links that include the FAA responses and FOIA don't work for me. I'm always thinking about upgrading from my ASW 15 and the Peg is/was high on the list of what I can afford. Keep up the good work, Bob.
