Are both wings the same?  It sounds like a little built in washout.  I would
leave it alone.  If you really want to take it out, on a Kadet the covering
should be strong enough.  After you cover it, prop it up to reverse the warp
about the same amount as you have.  Then reshrink the covering and release.
It should be straight.
