About 1 inch short of the closed-position lock and still pulling hard, I gave up and started thermalling. I learned how to fly with the gear down, I can do it again. Both Pegasi I've flown (101D at Williams, my club's 90) had really nice, smooth gear operation. No particular force needed to move the gear up or down and certainly no additional force needed to lock the gear at either end of its travel. I can say the same, i was member in 2 clubs having a lot of Pegase, hence i have flown many different ones, and i have never seen a problem such as you mention. Your glider may have a serious problem. -- Michel TALON
