You are quite right, this is the only job the digital level is just not
good enough for, as the leading and trailing edges are so far apart, you
can use a clear water filled tube with a couple of drops of detergent or
the like to reduce surface tension. Have one person hold the tube to the
leading edge and take the other end to the trailing edge, or tape them
up, then make a mark to see it quickly when measuring.
This system can also be used to set the aircraft level and to confirm
that the window sill is ok for reference, it will pick up the tiniest
difference in levels.
