Raimo,
I don't know about perfect, but here's what I did. I took a 2x4 and
stapled a piece of cardboard to it, then drew a line down the center.
Using a protractor, I drew lines, each side, tangent to the center line,
at 30 and 32 degrees. I then positioned the 2x4 under the aft end of
the fuse, arranging the gizmo so that the board ran the center line of
the fuse and the line intersections at the rudder hinge area. Swung the
rudder each way and added the stops. Pretty simple, in application...
