Pegase (Pegasus) 101A....opinions?

Good glider, performance and value. Wing flex provides
a smooth ride. Centrair is still in business and parts
are available. The only down side to me was with the
CG tow hook which needs a fast start to gain rudder
control.

I'm looking for something that is fairly easy to fly,
decent performance, and would provide a reasonable
platform for starting comps in a couple of years time.

Considering that their quoted ranking in the BGA speed
indicies is just behind the LS4 it seems good value
for money (around 33% less than an LS4) - is there
a catch? Are they a nightmare to rig or something?

How do the 'rubbery' wings affect the handling (including
on a bumpy field)? How about when you fill them up
with water? Any issues with support as Centrair seems
to offer no online support (if they are indeed still
in business)?
