Default Can incorrect wing incidence be corrected with ail, elev, or eng thrust adjustments?

I rebuilt a .40 size Dazzler with a 44" Hershey bar wing. I noticed (after the glue dried) that the leading edge of the wing is 3/8" higher than the trailer edge. It's almost ready to fly, but I don't know what to expect.

I'm wondering if 3/8" will make a difference. My gut says yes. Aren't there models that purposely do this?

I'm wondering if inverted flight is going to be a loss cause.

Is there any kind of correction (such as raising the ailerons a bit) that can be done without having to take the wing apart and redo it?

Your input is appreciated.
