Michel,

This business of 3000 hour lifespan limitation is,
undoubtedly, a major hurdle.

I have some experience of this in relation to the Polish
Puchacz (6000 hours) but the matter seems to have been
resolved - at least in part.

Centrair will have to address itself to this problem
- but, as you say, there are many club Pegase in France
- so that pressure on the manufacturer will be substantial
and, I am sure, successful.

Centrair must have plenty of evidence that the structure
does not disintegrate after 3000 hours ??!!

It would be a great pity to see such a fine glider
grounded by default - and, of course, potential buyers
will be severely put off until the matter is resolved.

I wish all owners the best of luck.
