My BGL is ready to put the wings on and noticed the top cabane attach points looked like the incidence was off. I checked and the bottom wing while level is +1 and the top wing is +5 degrees. The plans call for the bottom +1 and the top +2. The aircraft has flown but the people who flew it have since passed and the plane sat for 20 years. Should I fix the issue or fly it? I'd have to change it by 3 degrees, if I need to change it, what would be the easiest solution?
