Default AS-W12 Mods

Can anyone help me get in touch with someone who has done the mod to
increase the max flap deflection on an AS-W12 to something on the
order of 50-55 degrees? I remember e-mailing Robert Beck (previous
owner of D-1221, serial 14), but the e-mail I have for him bounces
back. He said his was modified for the increased deflection. There
is a picture in Peter Selinger's book, Rhon-Adler, showing D-4649
coming in to land with a lot more than stock flap deflection.

Yes, I have talked with Mark Grubb. The documentation went with the
plane, and I have not been able to make contact with the current
owner.

And, yes. I have also contacted Schleicher. No word back from them
yet, But they only got my e-mail this morning.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Leonard
