Default stab incidence

Hey all! I am assembling my first ARF. It is a 28% Edge. It features removable stab halves that slide on an aluminum tube and are then screwed into blind nuts in the fuse side. As I am getting ready to set up my radio, I notice that the stab halves do not seem even. I do not have an incidence meter, but one stab looks to be about 1/8" lower at the leading edge than the other. If this is the case, what will the tendency of the plane in flight be? Will it want to roll one way? If so, do you think it will be a severe "out of trim" situation? I really want this plane to be my first that isa completely balanced and trimmed proper as I want to learn some precision maneuvers and practice for IMAC. any info you may be able to provide would be a big help!! Thanks!

Regards,
