Default Wellington Crashed, need Specs

Has anyone ever had to correct the geometry on a badly built Wellington Bomber???
I bought a second hand Aerotech Wellington Bomber and measured the plane but found some very unusual readings.
I'm in the need of some geometry specs.
This is what I found. [:@]

-Right wing wash out -1 degree
-Left wing wash out +2 degrees
-Engines down thrust 6 degrees
-Wing at 0 degree incidence with the horizontal stabiliser leading edge down 2 degrees and a twist of 2 degrees.
The C of G is unknown ( 4 1/2")??

I did fly the plane knowing this but there was not a lot I could do about the wing, it flew for about 10 minutes with great difficulty then ended in tears..... It stalled the right wing.
I'm in the process of repairing it and want to correct these problems.
If anyone has ideas or can help, please let me know.... I will appreciate it.
Cheers
Kevin
