Default Arcus Mass Balance / Control forces

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 the
FAA. They claim that any new designs would have to meet these new
requirements and so the light control forces of the Duo would be unable to
be replicated in any new designs.

Schempp Hirth have a new design, the Arcus.

So...

Does the Arcus have the light controls of the Duo?
Does it meet the Flutter requirements of the FAA?
Are S-H just better at designing control systems than DG?

PF

(Not in a position to buy Duo / Arcus or DG1001, just curious!)
