LS3a vs Pegasus

Well, what do you think? I'm in the market and both are available with the LS having a higher asking price by a couple of thousand. Assuming similar trailers and instruments, is there a significant performance difference? Most Peg owners seem to love them and there is the DG/LS "tax" to consider. From what I've been able to gather, the Pegasus "hard to get parts" issue is mostly a myth. I have no time in flapped ships but not against them by any means. I'm currently flying an ASW 15.

- Not sure where do you fly, but Ls-3a in Midwestern, less than desirable, conditions would always beat the me in a thermal - I flew asw-19, which apart from a French designed airfoil isn't too far off from the Pegasus. I always envied the other pilot flying Ls-3 turning in thermals I kept falling out of. It was no competition between the two of us flying, same with run, simple gear change in the Ls-3 left me behind and lower. It convinced me I wanted a flapped ship.
The only down side was the weight of the wing on Ls-3. When he was pulling fuselage out of the trailer, entire gaggles used to scramble, leaving behind only children, elder and unenlightened...

Let me know if your going to sell your 15, I would be interested in it if you put her up for sale.

I noticed your interest in an ASW-15B. Mine is for sale and is posted on Wings & Wheels. Jack
