Derek Piggott describes the Pegase in his 'Help with
Chosing Your Next Glider' as follows:

Gereral handling - 5 out of 5.
Stalling characteristics - 4/5
Cockpit size - 4/5
Rigging & ground handling - average.

This i agree totally. Rigging is not a strong point of the Pegase
(at least the first version). Cockpit size of the Cirrus is certainly
better.



Comment - 'Very nice in all respects. Similar in performance
to ASW-19 but more feel to ailerons.


From my own feeling, the Pegase is much better than the ASW19 in
all respects. Soft wings make it more comfortable, and it is much more stable
at low speed. I find it a better climber. A fantastic climber was the
ASW15.


Owned an Open Cirrus for years - lovely to fly - pig
to rig.

Flew a club D75 Cirrus - now that really was a pig

I have flown the Cirrus also, it has good qualities and is comfortable.
But it is spin prone, and this is a serious problem.


Vive la Difference !

Yes. I think the glider which has essentially 0 default from this period
is the LS4. Unfortunately people know that and it is more expensive.
