Default Pegasus or ....?

The ASW 19 (and the ASW 20) cross wind ability can often be improved by
starting the takeoff roll with the spoilers open. This might also work
for the Pegasus.

I think the Peg is the best of the three on this point. I've never flown
a 19, but it you examine a Peg and a 19 side by side, the Peg looks to
have bigger ailerons. I mostly winched the Peg, but when I did aero tow
it I didn't have any particular wing drop problems.

The 20 is easily the worst behaved with its tiny ailerons - even the
owners manual says they have so little bite that you should start the
takeoff roll in negative flap.
