Default 2 Part Question

I have completed 2 scratch built airplanes many, many years ago... I have a set of plans for a sport/pattern plane, I have 2 questions about this that I never ran into before..

1- The wing is a tapered wing, the plan only shows one half of the wing...so I can't build the same half twice over the plan, do I just measure the distance in between the ribs then mark on the spars, I guess the notches in the ribs will take care of the taper.

2- The fuselage side view shows the wing attached, how do I determine exactly how to cut out the fuselage sides that will match the wing? The plan doesn't make it very clear. In my past builds the plan had a fuselage side by itself which clearly showed how to cut it out.

thanks
