Please excuse the ultra-noob question, but what is meant by "incidence" with respect to wings?

It's when the wings have a built-in angle of attack. Basically you rotate the wings so the if the plane is level, the wings are angled higher in the front and lower in the back. This gives them an angle of attack with which to generate lift, while the rest of the plane is level and making as little drag as possible.
