Yes, if you haven't installed the wing tips yet. If the cord lines aren't marked on the 36" and 48" ribs then mark them and use a digital level or other devise to make your measurement. If the tips have been installed try drawing the 36 inch rib on some ridgid material. Extend the cordline beyond the rib drawing and cut out the rib. Cut out the rib and slip the cutout over the wing and use the extended cord line to make your measurement. Or, it might be easier to just place a digital level across the spars on the bottom side of the wing and take your measurements at the inboard and outboard end. It's probably more important that both wings be equal than the amount of washout being EXACT. As to building a wing off the airplane, you have to start with the WAF's bolted to the centersection. Once you have enough material attached to the spars to hold the set there is no reason to keep it bolted to the aircraft. BUT, if anything moves, you're going to end up with a wing that won't attach to the airplane. You need a PERFECT fit at the fittings. You have no other option. As always, your results may vary.
