I have an electronic copy of the flight manual if you want it.

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

Any other comments would also be useful.
I would not be using the fuselage or tail surfaces, only the wings,
flaps and ailerons.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks to both Marc and Martyn, this is exactly what I needed.
Flaperons with torsion tubes will make my project easier.
Now all I need is a little more ambition.

Thanks again,
Dan
