NexStar EP with Training Wheels

I saw the Hobbico NexStar EP and I am fascinated by the concept of Training-Wheels that can be attached and removed.
The Hobbico Nexstar has:
*Leading-Edge-Droops/Airfoil-Extensions that resist wingtip stall and the resulting spin,
*Training-Flaps/Speed-Brakes are fixed position flaps that add lift and reduce speed for landing,
(and a couple of electronic systems that are beyond the scope of this request)
see http://www.hobbiconexstar.com/nexstar-ep/features.html

If the NexStar without training wheels is similar to the SuperStar,
Then splicing in a section of wing with leading-edge-droops,
and splicing in a section of wing with fixed position "flaps" in the down position,
in theory sounds like it should be easy for someone who knows what they are doing.

What are the chances of getting an FMS-model of the NexStar-EP with training-wheels?

Thanks
John

P.S.
-It would be fun to hear what is involved in getting intermediate modifications to a model such as this.
-Yes, I have already found the FMS-Model of the Hobbico SuperStar EP 4Ch at http://gunnerson.homestead.com/files/superstarep4ch.zip
-No, I do not have one of the physical models for measurements or flight comparison.
-Since the NexStar’s fixed-flap/speedbrake has holes in it, a compromise between the angle of the original wing and the angle of the fixed flap, sounds reasonable.
