I am afraid, you will get exactly ZERO answers, as the DuoX does NOT yet have
the bigger cockpit.
The big cockpit made its maiden-flight about a month ago and is not yet in
serial-production AFAIK.


Indeed, there's a Duo X at our club and it has the same fuselage as
the original Duo, which in turn is largely (completely? I can't
remember, not been in a Janus this year) the same as the Janus of the
early '70s, and you still share the front seat with the rear pilot's
feet and have absolutely nowhere to put anything.

The gear seems a bit higher, though nothing like a DG1000's. I've not
flown in it (just had a good poke about :-) ), so can't comment on
performance (and let's be honest, who would notice). I've heard
positive pilot comments about the landing flaps though - comes down
much better than the original.
