It's nice that the Pegase has an option for hand controls. I only knew about the Discus for single-seat ships. However, still need to train in a two-seater with hand controls before they can fly a single ship, if you have one with hand controls.

Yes, we know that, and the "only" in my message refered to an aftermarket kit(as Centrair, the original builder of the Pegase, which have in the past marketed their (quite poor)own hand controls kit, has no more interest in this activity.)
In fact, the Beynes soaring club (the soaring airfield closest to downtown Paris ) owns both a K21 and a Duo Discus Turbo originally equiped by the manufacturers with hand controls.
We have a disabled flight instructor; and the question was to transition the disabled solo student pilots to a single seater. The kit was entirely developed and certified by club members on their spare time.
