Me too also Pete I was worse off as my wings were filled so I could not
easily see the line of the spar. In fact I don't think the wings could sweep
very far forewards unless you bent the spars The thing to avoid is allowing
them to sweep back so that the aileron controls would foul up. I too used the
tail stub as a reference point and cross checked with the elevator tube.

I think all the fus's that I have worked on or looked at closely have been
the same.
