Hey Beetle fans,
After reviewing the tracings it appears that the beetle has an additional small stab plan not previously mentioned. I checked the plan and this portion does not appear on it. Posted here for all to enjoy.

Bryan, That drawing is the same as my Wild Beat stab drawing. Both of the kits (Beetle, Wild Beat) have adjustable stab assemblies and the small stab plan is the assembly directions. I don't know that i would be able to replicate the assembly if i built a Beetle, probably just go with a fixed stab.
When I scratch built the Wild Beat I saw that detail also and knew that I was not going to be able to get those MK parts. Central Hobbies has what I bought, the Gator Stab adjustable kit. It worked out just fine and I have used it before on other planes that I have. It is almost really just the oposite, it pivots at the rear on a tube rather than the front and then adjusts at the front, up & down.
