This is a Pegasus 2 by John Derstine who is no longer around. I do have plans if I need to build another.
It has 114 inch wing span, weighs 35 lbs and is powered by a 3W-120 with a 28/12 3 blade mejelick prop. 64 oz fuel tank good for about 2hrs towing ( which I did at the 05 JR Aerotow)
It can pull up to 50 lb gliders and even as small as 2 meters.
Check out the June 07 issue of RC Soaring Digest on line for details of the last aerotow our club had.
I also included a picture of my friends 140 inch all molded Turbo Porter powered by a BME 110.
