In addition to my earlier comments about having the wings on prior to installing the horz stab, it also makes sense to have them on when fitting the vertical stab/rudder as well.  With the fuselage attached to the wings, and the stab level with them as well, you now have the perfect reference to insure that the vertical stab is at 90 degrees to the horz stab and wingtip-wingtip line.  Again, the fuselage is there to allow all these surfaces to be aligned properly (ie, level and plumb as required) and having that large reference line that is provided by the wings is a real godsend and eliminates the possible errors that can be induced by using a 4' reference (ie, the fuselage itself) to establish level.  I've done more than my fair share of levelling things (cabinet work will do that) and I always think back to what it's like trying to level a set of cabinets.  Creating a long level line to which all the individual cabinets get matched insures that they are all lined up at the end of the road and that the countertops are all properly supported and aligned.  You simply can't do that levelling them one at a time... while a Lancair is hardly related to a set of cabinets, the procedures required to achieve perfection in this regard are amazingly similar.  I hope this helps.
