Hi All,

DG claim that the heavier controls on the DG1000 / 1001, compared to

the
Duo are due to changes in the flutter requirements imposed on them by

FAA.


FAA has nothing to do with this. You mean EASA...


According to DG it was a stipulation by the FAA

It'll be a long wait, 2nd hand Arcus unlikely to be in my price bracket
'til 2030.
But there's always the change of a lottery win at odds of 14 million to 1
