Yep happens! I'd just line up the spars and let the ribs determine the location of the leading and trailing edges. You might also check the span of the the two wing halves and the rib spacing as well.

I've seen this on occasion. Different plan sheets can react differently to humidity and sometimes the different sheets were printed at different times. Line up the spars and the ribs should fall in place +/-.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the tips ...I will do like you say and go with the spars as they seem the easiest parts to lay on the plan sraight! I will put the overlay on for rib spacing...cheers
