How does the Standard Cirrus compare to the Pegase and 19 in terms of
performance and handling?

You can find a list of L/D for some gliders he
http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~mjboyd/cfi/...lidersCompared
They give the Pegase at 41.
The Open Cirrus at 44, but it is a 18m ship. The 15m one is given here
at 38.5 in its best variant
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_(planeur)
By comparison, there is a LS4 polar he
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr...lars/ls-4a.jpg
which gives L/D at 40. I think it is roughly equivalent to the Pegase.
An other comparison is the ASW19, information can be found he
http://www.sailplanedirectory.com/schleich.htm
and ASW19 is given with L/D at 38, that is basically like the standard
Cirrus, and the ASW20 at 43.
By the way, you can find the other manufacturers at the same place.
