Default wing angle

I glued the wing to my funfly body with a certain amount of angle
( not exactly perpendicular ) and it seems that the angle is not consistent along the whole wing but the leading edge has some more degrees

1) what influence this problem has on how the plane behaves
2) could something be done to correct this problem (the wing was epoxied to the body)

thanks

* by the way i measured the height between the floor
and wing halves and i got the following result :
gap between trailing edge - 2.5 cm
gap between leading edge - 1 cm

First, I believe that you mean you installed it at an angle, not an angel. I thought that you were talking about something that was heavenly! <LOL>

Regarding your angled wing - You're Screwed
Just kidding!

You can take a heat gun to epoxy and get it to soften, move the wing, then once it cools, it will be all right.
Hope that this helps. If not, get an little heavenly help from an angel <LOL> (Sorry - Couldn't resist )

You can always fly it, then heat it up with the heat gun and fix it and find out. 1.5 cm is not too bad. Personally, it would drive me crazy. I wouldn't have it.
Just My Opinion

I'm guessing if it is not too far off and the horizontal stab is parallel to the wing it would be cool. I would try that heat gun trick first though.
