    Wow, I mysteriously missed the previous post, my friend @kalamazoo!
    I always face misalignment issues at my twin boom models...
    Well, I twist'n'bend'n'twist'n'bend'n...you get the story! ...hoping it will be not too offending upon glue curing! 🙂
    Your approach is miles ahead!
    Looking great, waiting for your alignment results!
