In France, there is no 3000h issue with the Pegasus. The issue stems from
the FAA's interpretation of the service note, but it is still an issue for
the US and Centrair doesn't seem to be very responsive...

The best cheap glider is the Pegasus, by far. But as others have said,
there are at present problems, since the producer Centrair has
abandoned production, and there is a stupid 3000 hours limit. While
these problems are not cleared, it is perhaps not reasonable to buy one.
It is certain that these problems will be cleared since the Pegasus
is the basic club glider in France, there are a large number in use,
and these clubs will do everything necessary to get out of this trap.

That would be very nice if the Centrair would deal with the 3000 hours
issue.
