Hi,

Interesting. I was very fortunate to spent quite a few hours in the back
seat of a DG-1000 this summer and found it very comfortable - and I'm 6' 3"
tall with very long legs. I think it is a lovely glider in every way! Very
easy to fly and impressive performance. My longs legs get a bit cramped in
the front seat on long flights though.

Same spoiler effectiveness (unless the Duo spoilers/wheelbrake
are improperly adjusted, which is common). If you're not doing
Acro, and you don't mind asking passenger to operate gear, no
difference (I always fly from back seat). Anyway, I know some
clubs are equally happy with DG-1000 as we are with our Duo !
I think DG rear seat is a tad more comfortable as well. I'll try
fly the DG one of these days...

Heh. I happen to think the back seat is the worst feature of the DG-1000,
at least in terms of comfort. :-)

But, yeah, it's worth flying both. I haven't flown a Duo X yet, but I'd
like to someday.
