Default stupid mistake - wing warp

I just checked my incidence meter on my topflite fw190 d9, and have found a warp!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm not a beginning builder and think my wing slightly popped out of its cradle overnight when building the washout.

From about 3" from the center, my right wing incidence is at +1 (correct for the kit), BUT the left wing is at +2 (one full degree off).
However, it gradually gets better out to the tip where it zeros out and matches the right wing tip...

Is this a significant amount of warp? Should I go through the hassle of melting my epoxied center strip fiberglass, remove the bottom sheeting of the left wing and pin it down again?

Or do you think I can trim this out with the ailerons in flight?

Thoughts??????

Thanks in advance,

Craig
