Default Tips for aligning wings, tail, etc.

Hi. I'm currently building a Kyosho Trainer ARF kit. Much of the construction has been fairly straightforward so far. However, I'm having great difficulty in aligning the stabiliser to the wings so that the distance between the wing tips and stabiliser tips is equal on both sides of the aircraft (I'm sure you know the one, A = A", B = B", etc). Any hints on an efficient method for doing this? I'm currently using a piece of string to measure the distance on both sides but just can't seem to get it right. How much tolerance is there in these measurements anyway? Does it have to be spot on or is it ok to be out by a few millimetres.

Thanks
