Alignment Squares

Here’s an easy way to square up your fuselage. Accurately cut two ¾-inch-thick pine triangles so that they’re taller than the fuselage sides. Glue them to ¼-inch balsa bases, and pin the bases to your building board with large T-pins. Stretch a rubber band across the top triangles, as shown, to hold them in place.
