Default RE: rudder alignment

Yep, but I wasn't sure because there was sort of two questions in one there. I wasn't trying to be a smart*****.

For some reason, that always is what scares me and what I seem to procrastinate when building. The horizontal stab installation. The vertical seems to be easy enough.. I just use two triangle squares and clamp them together using spacers to square up the vertical stab with the horizontal stab.. but the horizontal stab has to be square with the fuse and the wings before I can do that and that's what really scares me.. because there seems to be no real set or good way to get those angled surfaces 'square' with anything other than using something to measure the distance from each wing tip to that side horizontal stab tip.

Is there some magic solution to that? I sure would like to know because my Seagull Super Star sits there about 80% finished except the horizontal and vertical stabs.
