Duo Dive-brakes ( Polar with spoilers extended?)
Karl Striedieck wrote:
As to the assertion that the DG-1000 has more effective air brakes than the Duo, this is not so. While flying a DG-1000 I had the opportunity to do a formation "test dive" comparison with a Duo. We (Tom Knauff in a Duo) got in I've never compared the two side by side. But fact is that the original Duo is not certified for aerobatics, according to the SH homepage due to the poor dive brakes, while the DG1000 is, as well as the new Duo X. So yes, it seems there is a difference in air brake effectiveness.
