Does anyone know what became of the Will Schuemann's flap control system as described in the July 1975 issue of Soaring Magazine? It was supposed to appear in the ASW-20, but seems to have disappeared...

My question: Given that our manual flap settings cannot be optimal, how

much real-world improvement in climb and cruise could be gained with an

automated flap system that always has the flaps at their optimal

position ( a hypothetical "perfect" flap setter)?
