Knew you knew RFJ, mines a Superstar 2 with retracts, my, how the 2m bunch dislike it. Keeps beating them in comps. Just looking at that MAN article, the last photo of a very young Hanno standing behind his Sicroly, again no 'II' and if you look at the shadow of the wing, no flap extensions there, either. I did do pdf's of both articles today, but you beat me to it. Now I just have to take a photo of the thing and try to post that, instead. Don't let our rambling on deter anyone from building a Sicroly though, they come out under 7lb RTF and are lots of fun, bit busy in the circuit if you like that sort of thing, wheels and flaps to manage, pretty ugly on the ground, but quite shapely with everything up and as rapid as you would want.
