Shouldn't this thread be relabelled as I have done
it?

Where did the Standard Cirrus get to?

By the way M. Talon, I wasn't intending to have a pop
at the French (this time anyway), despite the fact
that they make life as difficult as they possibly can
for us 'roast beef' glider pilots. I was merely trying
to promote the Standard Cirrus.

With EASA taking over aviation in Europe, the problem
of life expired gliders that are no longer supported
by their manufacturers (some of whom have ceased trading)
may in the long term affect quite types of sailplane,
not only the Centrair ones.

I have no idea how to get hold of the airfoil coordinates...

Hi Bert,

are the Pegase airfoil coordinates available somewhere?

I'd really be interested in a closer look at the Pegase's
airfoil -
because I usually flew my ASW-20 with flap setting
3 (=neutral flaps)
while thermalling and got the impression that this
setting would make
the 20 a very high performance standard class glider.
In my opinion
the FX 62-K131 is a very good fixed wing airfoil.
