Here is the reference:

I will translate for non french speaking people:
"Light aircraft also benefited from these work, which led to the definition
of the wings of the glider Pegase"

Thx for the link - my French is good enough that I understand the
text.
Yet I have not seen a source what airfoil was actually used on the
Pegase...

In principle a flapped glider should be better at both ends, very low speed
and very high speed. The people who designed the Pegase wing could not do
miracles.

I was speaking about an unmodified ASW-20 wing (airfoil Wortmann FX
62-K131) without flaps (or rather: with the flap lever fixed in
neutral position. According to Ferriere Schleicher named this glider
"ASW-24 prototype".
