Default Wing balance problem... help please.

Hey, I'm new... registered less then 30 seconds ago. Anyway, I'm working on building my first plane right now. It's a PT-20 and I am just about to sheet the wing so I can start covering afterwards. Anyway, the right side of my wing is heavier then the left. If I hold my fingers in the middle (I have a lot of dihedral, followed plans to make the trainer) it will shift to the right. But if I move my finger about half an inch or so to the right, it will balance perfectly.

I've tried sanding the right side more and to no avail. What is the best way to get the wings level? Tomorrow after work I will be going to the local hobby shop to pick up monokote and all my covering tools... so I'd appreciate it if I could get some help on this problem so I can get this bird ready for a test flight within a month. Thanks for any and all help and suggestions.
