Have you tried oiling the hinges?


Having flown the same DG1000, I have to agree with Bob, the ailerons are
quite heavy, although not quite as heavy as the DG505 I flew. Neither
of us belong to the clubs that own these gliders, so we can't attest to
the quality of the maintenance (but the 1000 is less than 3 years old).
I normally like DG handling (I've owned a 101 and a 303), but the two
seaters are simply not as pleasant to fly as the Duo...
