Don't think we can tell you "how many are out there". They were not
done by Wil, but were done by the individual owners. So, unless every
person that has one with a leading edge mod that calls their plane a
"Schuemannized Libelle" steps up and answers, the world may never
know! I recall that N301RG has the leading edge mod. I also know
that Joe Emons was going to fly the Schuemann Libelle in a regionals
at Sunflower in the Standard Class. Back when they would allow you to
lock the flaps and fly then in Standard Class. After two attempted
launches with wing drop and off runway excursions, he said "Screw it!"
unlocked the flaps, and flew Open Class. Against Nimbus 2, Mescalero,
and I don't recall what all else. As Wil said in the writeup, don't
lock the flaps and fly Standard Class. You won't like it. And might
hurt it.
And the only bad behavior they have is running close enough to even
with an AS-W20 (when all are dry) that the 20 owner gets mad at you
because he can't leave you behind!
