Bob, 

Is your wing a rag wing or metal.  Your wing would have to be twisted
pretty badly to get a differing incidence angle.

If it is a rag wing- did whoever covered the wing last install the screws
on the undercamber below the leading edge?  If you have one wing with
screws, and one wing without (an easy mistake to make) then you will have
2 different airfoils and they will look different if you look at them
from the side view. 

I have my fabric off now, and one thing I've seen about these wings is
that they are pretty stout and dont twist hardly at all. Someone would
have had to have done a really bad repair job and built a twist into the
wing to get it to be off. 

Or, if it's a metal wing- maybe whoever skinned it had the wing slightly
twisted when they installed the skin.
