Some of the older (101) Pegs have a self-connecting elevator, which is
a feature that's well worth having. AFAIK it was a feature added towards the date when they switching to the 90. It also never surprises me that I fit them (5'3") as does a friend who is 12" taller. I don't have the seat back right forward, he takes it out and wears light-weight shoes. At my height with slightly short legs poportionately, I get a great view - the back of the canopy is after of my head, and I can just about make out the tailplane of the glider. However I've helped enough people with dodgy trailers and rigging aids to agree that the condition of the trailer comes first. You can make rigging aids if necessary - for example the chap with an Asir and no wing root dolly made one as soon as we had used mine to help rig his glider. He was a very tall guy so without one was having to stoop to avoid banging the trailing edge on the top of the trailer door frame, and yes - I think he had a bad back! |

Trailer? 20-30 minutes to rig and 5-6 hours to fly. I'd rather have a
comfortable glider! (Fortunately, I have both... LAK-17a and LAK T5 trailer) ;-) "Cats" wrote in message ...
