Michael,

I think you should send a specimen to Nurse Ratchet,
however, if you are hell bent on doing this, consider
first some other alternatives that may give you the same
type of thrill:

1.) Track down and kill some endangered species.
2.) Purchase a Monet and re-paint it as a Dali.
3.) Kill all your surviving relatives...then yourself.

If those are too drastic or costly, consider converting
an R-392 instead. They are of the ideal design for
FET conversion, are cheap and plentiful, and there are
many who have done it with good results already. And
it performs just about as well as the non-A anyway.
