Ok, I've been out of the hobby for a while now as I went through college and whatnot. 2 years graduated and now I've decided to fire up a build that has been in the works for probably 10 years or so. It was my first ever kit before I even knew I needed a trainer It's a Top Flite Spitfire MkIX Gold Kit. Back in the day all I got done was building the stab and fin. Needless to say, I had no idea what I was doing and the craftmanship was terrible at best. Now that I'm restarting it, I'm going to rebuild those sections. I've lost the manual, but I can just download that off Top Flite's site. I'm going through right now and figuring out which parts I need to order to replace the work I previously did. I've discovered that I've also lost the plan section of the stab as I cut it out and now it's gone. I've still got the elevator part of the plan in the box and I'm guessing the fin and rudder are just part of that side view of the fuselage? Anyway, I can look at my plan and see the big hole that's missing so I can figure out what I don't have. I'd like to avoid spending $27 on a whole new set of plans when all I think I need is the stab. Is there anywhere online that would have a PDF of these plans where I could grab it or does anyone here have these plans and would be willing to make a copy for me? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've been gone for way too long.

Thanks in advance,
Shaun

If all else fails, fake it. You know how wide the stab is from the elevators and how long from the side view. You can get details from many views of the Spit on the internet.

Just lay one out and cut it from solid balsa. Maybe cut a few lightening holes. Would look fine and not a whole lot of weight.

Yeah, I was trying to avoid that because they're $27 and I only need one small part of them.
