Default Akaflieg Karlsruhe AK-X updates?

I believe the foot launchable hang glider, the Swift (Swept Wing Inboard Flaps for Trim) uses wing flaps ahead of the CG. I believe nose pitches up when they are used. Now made by Aerianne in Belgium. It is a gorgeous aircraft and gorgeously thought through and developed.
