Just to add to what Mike Easley is saying - I took Delivery of my kit well after Mike and at the same time as Bryan Burr.  My incidence measurements are almost identical to Mike's.  At the wing root, I am off .8 degrees, at the wing tips - almost 2.0 degrees.  I have also had conversations with Tim Ong about these measurements.  There is no doubt in my mind that the factory jig is off - or the production in the Phillipines is off - either way it is frustrating.  Go figure - the guys who have built their own from scratch with plywood jigs in a garage have straighter wings than the guys that have paid for the use of the factory supplied jigs.  And we paid a premium for the fast build kit and for the use of the Lancair jigs and shop.  I am sure that once I am flying, the ecentrics bushing trick will work as it has for others - then I will go and redo all of the bodywork at the wing roots. Blah.  So much for the "fastbuild"!
