At first I was thinking getting the stabilizers to be the right angle with the wings and parallel to each other was going to be a PITA. I started down the path of making an angled jig, and then I was like wait a minute, making this too hard in this specific case, a simple piece of scrap balsa that's the right length and square works perfect since it can also rest on the wings at the joint will get the needed results.

This is a neat little build.

Yeah, I know dope would be the lightest and best route to go to maximize the glide duration, but not sure I care in this instance. But I'll consider it.
