Default RE: Old Sterling kits anywhere?

In the sixties as a teenager, I built and flew a Sterling Corsair control line plane. The kit was a C-9, 36" wingspan sorta scale model. I've been looking for the plans for this model. Got any ideas?
You need the kit, not the plans, as the parts are not shown on the plans. A pretty desireable kit, as it was for carrier competition. Hard to find.
Expect to pay $100-175 for that one, when you see one.
Beware, there is another sterling 36" corsair, from the late seventies, for CL or RC, much easier to find.

I would try to buy the kit if it ever comes back up for auction. I did buy the FS-36 kit, same size but not as robustly constructed. Aparently the crutch is horizontal on the C-9 too. I figure I could build a reasonable facsimile of the C-9 kit with the FS-36 dimensions and the C-9 plan sheet. I think I am up for the challenge, anyway. Thanks a bunch for your input. I really do appreciate the help. Hey, my wife says I'm beyond help. :-)
