What's the going price in Europe for a nice Pegasus?

Yes you can. And some owners have already. Going rate is around 15-20K
Euros for a decent one with a closed trailer, registered in a EU-country,
depending on finish and instrumentation. There's a catch however: they
need
to be factory-stock in order to be registered. I.e. no home-made parts
(including instrument panels and the like!), no major mods that are
sometimes done under the experimental category but cannot fly in Europe,
etc. And European AD's sometimes vary wildly from mandatory US ones, so
it
is not uncommon to find imported US gliders needing backlogs of SB's and
AD's done in order to pass European inspection. This has fooled owners
importing gliders from outside the EU before... So: get qualified advice
before you do put yours on a boat across the pond.

I am assuming your thinking about pegasus on wings and wheels
i am also struggling weighing whether to consider such plane.
I am glad you asked the question, good updated info.

Well yes and no...

We are looking for a glider for Freedoms Wings Int'l...needs to be able to
be fitted with hand control rudder...we know that the Pegasus already has
been so fitted...

So the W&W glider is a possibility...or we will wait for another..

Plus the "funding" is still pending!

The French soaring federation is in the process of having a new system of hand controls manufactured for the Pegasus; the original system made and certified by Centrair was no longer available. The new system was recently approved by the DGAC (French FAA), the EASA STC is expected shortly.

If somebody is interested in buying one, he/she can contact the F.F.V.V. at .

Thanks for the info...We are already in touch with the parties in France
regarding the newly approved hand control.

In fact this is what stirred our interest in a Pegasus in the fist place..
