First glider to buy 10-20k euro's

Hi Senna,

I bought a Pegase right at 50 hours and really love the ship. While the ailerons and elevator is not automatic, my ship was fitted with Wekeslink (spelling?) sleeves on the ailerons and airbrake connections which significantly ease the connection job inside the turtle deck.

I have a one man rigger and handling and rigging the wings by myself is not an issue.

I really the handling of the ship. I am not sure what these go for in Europe.

Good luck!

I'd look for a one man rigging aid as well. I have seen 2 Pegase for sale at € 15k and seems fair, but without 8.33KHz radio, so will need to replace that before I fly anyway.

One thing I did notice in the Pegase is that when I'm in a tight thermal, as I usually do, I can't seem to fly slow enough. For example: turning left requires you to pull the stick backwards and slightly right, but I can't seem to pull it right enough so I keep flying at 85-90 km/h in a thermal and can't go much slower. I do fly at nearly minimum takeoff weight.
