I've used this method in the past and it works very well. I've used spray cans under the wing as well as one pound coffee cans. I use the same brand and size of can to be sure the cans are the same diameter. The same with the stabilizer. The Twister I'm building is aligned using 2 ounce plastic cups from IHOP. I save the cups to mix other stuff in and figured I could use them to hold the plane. Two for the wing and four for the stab. I used two incidence meters as moving one back and forth is aggravating. I saved the end of a broken tape measure to set the wing and stab parallel. I glued a triangle to a second piece of the tape to use in case the trailing edge is swept like a Ringmaster. Large 30/60 triangles set the fuselage square and vertical to the wing. Now it's up to covering and paint if I ever decide on what color scheme.
