Glass cloth on the center section of the wing around the entire joint (top and bottom) had no effect on the alignment. I used masking tape on the wing so that the glass cloth and epoxy was on the inside of the glue joint. Once the epoxy dries I sand the edge of the masking tape to remove it. I use a level on the nose of the plane (on the SV-11, this area is parallel with the thrust line) to ensure it is in fact level and in a stable position so it won't move, and I use incidence meters (old mechanical ones made by Great Planes, they also make laser meters but I have not used them) on the wing and tail. I tack glue things in place with CA before final gluing. I hope this adequately answers you question.Thanks Don. Do you use some special stand to fix the fuselage? Besides that I understood that having level to set fuselage horizontally correct + incidence meter will be enough for assembling.
