Failing that, look for an ASW-19B or an ASW-20. Both allegedly fly
similarly to the Pegase and the '20 certainly has better performance.
I'm looking at present. Pegase 90 would be my first choice, but as I
may need NZ type approval I've got my eye on a nice '19B - that and
several models of the '20 are already type approved.

I'm actually drooling over the Apis FAI. But between that and
a tiny baby girl on the way...I'll have to save up my gaga noises...

I'd like a close look at one too. The performance and cost numbers are
both interesting. However, they seem to be pretty thin on the ground
outside Slovakia and the US. I like the idea of being able to work
weak energy lines, the more so as I've had a taste of doing just that
in an SZD Junior.

Do you know if they are ever likely to be stressed for and fitted with
a belly hook for winching?

I can't imagine ever owning a glider that could not be winched.
