Before I drilled any holes or took any measurements, I covered the sides and top of the nosecone with blue painters tape. After that I placed one of the canards on the side of the nosecone and figured out a position that looked best - nothing scientific. After finding the optimal placement, I drilled holes in the canard and nosecone. I used a cloth tape measure to determine locations for the holes I would drill for mounting. After that, I replicated the hole locations on the other side of the nose cone. Before drilling holes, I mocked everything from the front to see how it looked with both canards on. Once satisfied, I drilled holes on the other side and mounted everything.
