Josok?
About this tailspring.............if all is absolutely ideal dimensionally, 
yes, take the measurement and make your hole. Otherwise, setup you 
tailwheel on the spring, on a board set at the correct height beneath the 
tail, and then transpose the angle of the horizontal, tail contained, 
portion of the spring laterally "through" the fuse side and onto the 
sternpost centreline. Then drill away. I reckon the inaccuracies of 
homebuilding suggest you tailor the dim as required to achieve the actual 
goal, which is not a hole 1" up, but a tailwheel that has the tailplane at 
the correct angle when the fuse is static on the ground.

P.S. Have a look at those photos.
