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

You are perfectly right. I have always known that the founder of Centrair was
not very serious, and we have one more proof here.
I am still quite sure that this issue will be ironed out since there are
hundreds of Pegase in use in French clubs. If the Pegase was grounded at 3000
hours it would be a domestic catastrophe.
In spite of all these worries, i am not aware that the Pegase has experienced
big problems such as delaminations of wings which have afflicted some of the
most prestigious brands ... Nor does it have nasty tendencies to spin, too
light or too heavy controls, like some other gliders which have been
mentioned. It is very homogeneous, good performing, comfortable, has powerful
air brakes. So a good bang for the buck, even if newer german gliders are
better, but considerably more expensive. I suppose you are thinking of polish
gliders, unfortunately they are not very visible here.
