With regard to manual control hook-ups, I don't find them to be a
problem. It takes 20 seconds to connect the L'Hotelliers, and less
than a minute to pin them. You can easily see things if you put your
eye to the inspection hatch, and it's easy to manually verify through
pushing the button while pulling and twisting to verify that they're
properly engaged.

must be you're not yet over 50 and into the bifocal user's group....with
Popeye forearms going into tiny hatch opening connections are essentially in
brail, with bright sun looking onto a white fuselage with a black hole to
inspect the connections even making the connetion, say nothing of safety
pins in almost guesswork... I know few who can say that they never missed a
connection at least once....double and triple check them!



I can't speak from personal experience regarding the Pegasus, but the
previous owner of my ship bought one. For what it's worth, he said the
Pegasus flew like a truck in comparison to the ASW-19.

must have been a really nice ASW19 and a really bad Pegasus! They are
essentially the same with modified non-flapped 20 wings on the
Pegasus.....The Pegasus probably then I guess flys more like a 20 than it
does a 19.
