Default Wing Incidence Question

I have a gp giles and when checking the wing to the stab the difference is 1/2 degree neg on both sides. From wing root to tip it is a little less than 1/4 degree neg. I am using the gp accupoint laser meter. My question is: is the 1/2 degree enough to try to correct. The plane will pull to canopy on downlines and trimmed for level flight at 1/2 thr, it will climb at full. Haven't been able to check thrust yet, need to fabricate a meter attachment for the 160. Never really payed much attention to this stuff before. Just want to make sure I'm barking up the right tree......Dave
