Dan, If you study the dimensions you will see that they are the same for the top and bottom. The 25" and 28" on the outer ends represent the distance from front of main spar to rear of rear spar. I am not sure what the 46" and the 42.125" represents so maybe Eric will shed some light on those two measurements. I agree he should have drawn the bottom as a trapezoid. It would have been a lot easier to understand.
