Centrair 101A Available- Price lowered
Not that it hasn't happened, but I've never seen a 90 (nor a B or D model, for that matter) offered for sale in the U.S. The access hole in the Peg is small and connections are made strictly by feel. Its not difficult but auto hook-ups would be convenient as well as safer. I don't think that one would find a better value in that price range.

I own a 101A with Wedekind sleeves installed - I put my Pegase together in 15 minutes from start to finish and NEVER have issues putting the spar pins in ot doing the control hook ups - it is a dream to put together and I have not met a previous owner that was extremely happy having owned one. And it is extremely forgiving (forgive me regularly) - it also climbs really well. My experiences .02 cents WH |

Agree with the Wedekind sleeve conversion. My first Pegase did not have them and installing the safety pins in the l'Hotellier fittings was a pain. The Wedekind sleeves make it much easier, but you have to remember to give a good tug on them to make sure they are engaged. I keep mine hangered, so I don't assemble/disassemble very often, but the quick connections are really nice to have.

I'll second the Wedekind sleeve conversion. My ASW-15b has them and it's really no problem to get the connections made. As Mark says, just be sure to give them a firm tug and then also be sure to do the positive control check.
I do have a question for Pegase owners with regards to the 3,000 hour inspection. I was looking at purchasing a Pegase about a year and a half ago and while reading through the maintenance manual I believe it stated that the 3,000 hour inspection needed to be completed every 5 years. Are owners seriously doing this? Including removing all the control surfaces and getting the measure of moments? This was one of the prime reasons why I decided to pass on the Pegase. But then I may have had an incorrect read of the documentation. |

I owned mine and it had to have safety pins at 5 points, almost got me once, when I forgot to hook up the elevator. But generally could put it together by myself without special rigging equipment. Flew 1000K in mine and it was a pleasure to fly.

There was always a better solution than Wedekinds.
See Figure 4. Buy 'em from Schempp Hirth dealer. I've seen guys make their own too (the Schempp Hirth ones are better). Easier to install, easier to assemble, easier to inspect the assembly. Not that I expect anyone who's spent a thousand bucks on Wedekind sleeves and installation to agree. https://www.alexander-schleicher.de/...93-001-3_E.pdf Evan Ludeman |

A set of wedekind sleeves for my DG 200 cost about $200 US. Having looked at all the other methods, wedekind are best by a mile.
