All,

Do I remember right that all the Pegasus models have an absolute limit of
3000 hours, after which they will be legally unflyable? Or am I confused
about this? Something about the manufacturer has to approve life limit
extensions, but since Centrair is out of business, there's no one to do it?

Think I saw an ad for one recently at just over 3K hrs: good luck getting a
new AC for that one.

Hi,
What are the Pegase models (like 99 and 101) and what are the diference
between them?

101 - Hotelier connections all round, fixed landing gear
101p - as 101 but with removable winglets
101a - as 101 but with retractable landing gear
101ap- as 101p but with retractable landing gear

101b - as 101a but with a carbon spar
101d - as 101b but with automatic connection for the elevator

90 - same as 101d but with automatic connection for all controls
and a raising panel.

Details for the 101, 101p, 101a, 101ap are from the 1983 pilot manual.
All carry water ballast.

Details for the 101b and d are from the Sailplane directory: I think
these are suspect because it also describes a Pegase Club model as
having fixed gear and no water ballast provision.

Details for the 90 are from personal experience: my club has one that I
flew for two years with and without ballast. It is a very nice,
comfortable glider.
