Duo Dive-brakes ( Polar with spoilers extended?)

The Duo passed the same JAR - now EASA certification that the DG1000

That means they have to limit the speed to below Vne in a relatively
shallow dive. (30 degrees)

The no aerobatics certification appears to be simply a liability
limitation.

No. JAR 22 requires 30 degrees for all liders, but 45 degrees to be
certified for aerobatics and cloud flying.

Thanks John

I have a copy of JAR22, but did not read it well enough obviously. From other
posts it appears that Schempp have now decided to apply for the certification.

Since they have only just started building the first XLs I suppose we will have
to wait a while.

We will see how it flies in June 2008 I guess.
