I am in the process of setting up my jigs for the tip ribs and have a question. As I was setting up the lower tip rib I noticed the dummy spar I made didn't coincide with the print on the front spar. I just took the front spar dummy I had used for the lower ribs, and cut it down to the plans dimensions of 3 1/4". It looks like the bevel angle of the front spar is steeper at the tip as it tapers. Is this the case, am I missing something, or does it not matter? Thanks for your help everyone!

Kevin
