Spar Fit Discrepancy

Here's a head scratcher for me, put the brakes on me tonight but good!

Has anyone else had or seen a fit discrepancy between ribs and spars? To my knowledge, all spars are perpendicular to the ground plane,...is this not correct?

So why this forward 4 degree forward angle in the aft cut-out here? The forward spar cut-out specifies a 1 degree aft angle!

The text along the top is as specified in the drawing. The Red spar section is also as positioned in the drawing 90 degrees to ground but, the yellow spar section I rotated in a trial fit to match the 4 degrees specified above??? This just doesn't seem right.



I'm both exhausted and thoroughly confused as I write this,...please help!
