I'm pretty sure that when I was flying at Le Blanc we used tail dollies
interchangeably between Pegases and ASW-20s. Of course, they might all
have been Pegase ones, on reflection ...

The difference was pretty small. The difference wasn't apparent to the
eye, but I'd read that Centrair had increased the boom diameter, so we
tried my ASW-20 dolly on it to see if there really was a difference. I'd
say the Pegase tail boom diameter was 3mm bigger at most. From memory the
dolly fitted onto the boom OK, but the catches wouldn't go over centre
with the normal amount of pressure.

My dolly was a good snug fit on the '20 and had a fairly thin, firm
lining. With a larger diameter moulding and a thicker, softer lining it
may have fit on the Pegase too.
