Well first thing that Super Stick was discontinued two years ago and you will have a hard time finding parts for it. Shame as it was one of many great flying Stiks discontinued by Horizon.
The second thing as mentioned by the others, it's not bad. The horiz stab looks like a clean break. The vertical stab may have the lower part broken off inside the horiz stab but again that's not bad. First glue the horiz stab back in place on the fuse keeping it properly aligned and level to the fuse. Then glue the vertical stab back in place right onto the broken part in the horiz stab again keeping it plumb.
Then get some triangle stock in a width that will extend up the vertical stab past the break and across the horiz stab and cut two pieces long enough span the vert stab length . You can cover the exposed pieces in ultra/mono-coat then glue the pieces in place or just glue them in and paint them white, You can also cut two additional pieces and install them below the horiz stab to the fuse. These pieces will reinforce the stabs. Then install the elevator surface with new hinges.
Done !
