Default Venture 60 wing

I didn't have any problems building the wing halves for my Venture 60, but when I joined the wing halves together and laid the completed wing over the plans, one of the wing halves has a small degree of forward "sweep", such that by the time you get out to the wingtips, the LE, TE and everything in between is about a 1/2 inch forward of where they should be. Naturally, I didn't discover this until after I had epoxied the wing halves together. The wing halves are built straight and true, and I have a good wood-to-wood joint at the root ribs with no gaps. I probably screwed up somewhere in lining up the root ribs themselves or maybe the wing spar.

In any event, it's water under the bridge. What I want to know is if this problem will have a noticable impact on flight performance. What do you guys think? Maybe a little trim adjustment will take care of it?
