Some people has problem fixing up the V-tails on gliders and other models and this thread is to share the methos I've been using for jigging the them.
Most gliders V-tails are joined before being glued to the fuselage. Make a template as shown and tack it onto the fins after applying epoxy on the glue joint, while waiting to cure.
Once done, cut away the film on the fin where it meets the fuselage, apply epoxy and use the illustrated method to eyeball the alignment. Note that the wings should be properly mounted on the fuselage.
My drawing nice?
