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. :D :D
Cheers
Kevin
