The Pegase 101 CC (a carbon spar version of the 101A) manufactured in
1983, used kevlar extensively in the cockpit area.

I don't know whether Marc Ranjon did this for crashworthiness, though
it wouldn't surprise me. Marc was putting winglets on ASW-20s and
Pegases in 1981. Forward thinker. Most of his contemporaries required
10+ years of convincing.
