Default What is the "x"

The x was similar but different for the a/b versus the c.

On the a/b it included: 1. New horizontal that was thinner. 2. Sharper leading edge on the vertical. 3. Maughmer 1 winglet to replace the Masak winglet.

On the c the same as a/b plus the outer panel on the 18m was changed from the 20 degree tip up to a tip with the Maughmer winglet.

-new horizontal stabilizer(iam not sure)
-1. gen. maughmer Winglets(2. gen. is already available)
-higher mtow of 600kg instead of 525kg)

Differences between DuoDiscus/DuoDiscus X:

The first X model Duos were still only 700kg mauw SH Technical Note No.
396-13 refers. There were c. 14 Duo X models before the change was made.
The X model also introduced winglets to the Duo and many earlier ones were subsequently retro fitted

The V2ax also got the same fin and rudder as the D2a
