Default Deception - stab foam cores?

Back in the early 80's I competed with two Deceptions. I have fond memories of them both. One was destroyed in a mid-air at the Glen Sig Memorial contest in Jacksonville, FL at the old 103rd street flying field. That was around 1984, I think. At any rate, I still have the canopy. I suppose I could "repair" the plane by simply replacing all the support structure around the canopy, i.e., fuselage, wings, tail, etc. Sorta like restoring a crashed full scale plane by starting with the data plate. I know that plans are available and that one can get foam wing cores from Dynamic Balsa, but what about the stab cores? I have seen a lot of references in this forum to people scratch building some of the classics, so what are folks doing for the stabs? I have cut cores before, although I no longer have access to the foam cutting equipment. And finding the proper foam was always a problem, too. Of course, if anyone had a kit available, I would be interested.
