Default DG-600 questions

Recently a set of DG-600 wings have shown up for sale. They are
damaged but don't apear to be beyond repair. I'm considering using a
these wings for an experiment I've been toying with for some time. .
I've never seen a DG-600 in person so I could use some help with a few
basic questions.
What is the weight of DG-600 wings?


I believe mine were around 150 lbs. each.

What is the max non-lifting weight of a DG-600?
I found the empty weight and max gross weight but not the non-lifting
weight.


246 kg / 542 lbs.

Does a DG-600 have automatic control hookups?


Yes, via two torsion tubes per side.

Does a DG-600 have a flap/aileron mixer or are the control of the flap
deflection and ailerons separate?


The DG-600 has flaperons, not separate aileron/flap.
