A sleeve can not be added to the elevator

I've just brought one and the elevator is self-connecting - it's a
101a.

If you can find one, go for a Pegase 90 - they are later than the 101
models and have automatic hook-ups for all controls.


I've got what I've got - I'll get on with flying it! And I'm
suspecting I'll never need another glider, unless I manage to break it.


Apologies, Cats - that was aimed at the OP, not you!

Our club's Peg 90 was my first step into high performance gliders after
the Junior and I really enjoyed flying it. I liked its feel and handling
very much and found it much more comfortable than a Discus for flights
beyond 3 hours or so. FWIW, I agree with you - if I owned a Peg I would
not be looking to change it. They climb nicely in weak lift and run well
with a bit of water on board.
