Does anyone have any manuals, packing lists, bills of materials, engineering drawings, builder's notes, videos, or anything at all concerning how to convert a Wheeler Express FT200 from a cruciform tail to a conventional tail? I think this was called an S-90/Arriga conversion in the mid 1990's.

I recently purchased a partially assembled Wheeler FT200 kit that came with the large parts for the conversion (rudder, elevator, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer) and many of the ribs, but some ribs were missing along with many of the metal parts and probably more parts that I am unaware of at this time.

The kit did come with a manual that addresses the conversion, but it is weak.

Some of you must have actually done this conversion, and I would really like to talk to you.
