Since I always had to fly around with the ailerons reflexed up about 3/8", I decided to change straighten it out and raise the trailing edge of the new wing by about 1/8". Using digital levels, this translated to lowering the L.E. by about 0.5 degree. There is a lot of "by gosh and by golly" engineering here.
I made a template and bondoed it onto the old wing and brought the airframe to a position where the top of the template was level. (The old WL15 marks are long gone). When it was time to insert the new wing, I used the same reference, raising the T.E. 0.5 degree. I won't know until the first flight it this was a good thing to do, or not.
Note added 11/08/2011: It turned out just fine.
