Has anyone flown the newest version of the Duo-Discus with it's bigger cockpit?
Who is prepared to comment on the relative success of the "x" modifications
(winglets and revised airfoils and landing flaps and sprung undercarriage).
Is it better at XC?
Is it safer XC now?
Can the change in L/D be quantified (SH claim the same 1:45)

I hear rumor Jack Harkin will be flyin his "X" out of Montague this weekend
17-19.
He is a contributor to the Wiiliams' Soaring forum. Perhaps you may post your
query there for his opinions.

FYI, Gavin flew a new Duo with winglets at the R-9 in Parowan Utah, I
don't know whose it was but perhaps he could comment on it's
performance improvements.
