Default Wing compared to elevator

Kind of a crazy question but....... its been a long week so....
I'm rebuilding a glider that has a fiberglass airframe and I just noticed something strange but then again.... maybe not. I put a level on the the horizonal stab. and then I placed another level on the wing saddle. Shouldn't both be level with each other. The wing has a flat bottom so I'm thinking when the wing is level the horz. stab. should be also because the way it looks now is that it would have some built in "Up" because when the saddle is level now, the stab leading edge is down about 1/8 of an inch compared to the trailing edge.
Please let me know your thoughts.....and if I should do something to the saddle to make the both of them level.
Thanks,
Palmer
