How does the plane fly?  That's the big question.  If it is flying fine then I woiuldn't touch it.  If you think you need to move the stab so that its zeroed, then go ahead.

I did the same thing to my bandit which had a negative 2 in the hstab.  After zeroing it out, I found the plane was probably better for thermalling but not better for zooming.   If you want to fly hotliner style leave it as it is.  If you think you want to thermal with it adjust it abit.  But I would only adjust in small increments.

Hello
 
After going through Performance Tuning several times, I decided to tackle my V tail Philp Sport from NeSail.
 
I put the GP incidence bracket on the root of the wing and got it balances laterally and horizontally.
 
The v tail is too narrow to really take a second incidence meter. The weight of the Aero on the feathers makes it tricky. Will have to build blocks to support tail boom and each v tail.
 
Anyhow, after numerous measurements, the meter seems to read -3.5 . Is that appropriate for this sloper? From Nation's video, i think my goal should be 0/0. I make have to do some real build up on the front of the v-tail.
 
If i do glue the tail on, i was thinking of goop over epoxy. Will goop be rigid enough? I had two bolts on it but they wobble some. Finally what are the negatives for goop hinges? I am building a Thorn that calls for them. 
 
Any thoughts?
