The dive brake modification to the Std Cirrus Dive brakes is manufactured by "Rittner" in Germany, available thru Chris at Fibremites, I have fitted two of these kits to Cirrus over here in the West and they are worth while. Re the standard tailplane and elevator modification, there is a mod to do this, again talk to Chris at Fibremites.
