Default Left vs Right

Has anybody else noticed the following inconsistency in the plans? On DWG 11 (RV-9), they show "Wing Skins Top View" and "Wing Skins Bottom View". Both are labelled with parts for the left wing. But both are drawn with the leading edge pointing up and the outboard side on the left, so they can't both be the left wing. The "Wing Skins Bottom View" actually illustrates the right wing, even though it is labelled with the parts for the left wing.

Not a big deal, since the wings are basically identical, but I found this error surprising.

If you visualize you be suspended in the air, looking at the wing from the rear and then floating over the top of the wing and looking at the leading edge without twisting yourself around to be standing rightside up, I suppose this scenario is possible

I noticed the same thing. I didn't understand Bob theory and I don't have now plans in sight, but I remember to have thought that left bottom wing view is shown, viewed from top (as you have X-ray eyes). I say this, because there is some incompatibility simply with a right wing shown.
