the 301 was never produced as a 17 meter version....some might have been modified, though I know of none that were
the Kestrel was 17 meter and I suspect that is what they were referring to..... there was also (one) 304 produced with extended span called the Glasflügel 402 but it was later converted to the "Falcon" by Hansjorg Streifeneder

17 meter span H 301 Libelle??

Anyone know how many of these were made? I have never heard of a 17meter
version.

Was it a whole new wing? Or were removable tips installed?

I think he has either confused the wingspan or is actually talking
about a Glasflugel 401 Kestrel.

There is most certainly a handicap listing for Libelle 17m on many Euro
sites under club class

ASW 19; DG 100; LS1f; Hornet; Std. Jantar, Std. Astir; SZD 59; Phöbus B3;
Cirrus; Std. Cirrus 16m; Phöbus C1; D 37; SB 7; Elfe 17m, Std. Libelle 17m
are given 100

Googling and translating a bit, it appears the 17m Libelle appeared in 1965,
so likely a 301.
