The tail is quite heavy so there was no chance of just inserting the splint, binding it up and expecting the tail to be in the right position when the epoxy had cured so I built up a jig on a fuselage building board which is conveniently inscribed with squares which assist alignment. This held the fuselage still while I adjusted the tail position by using wooden wedges. Once alignment was correct the position of the wedges was marked.
