Can't explain the right rudder left roll though

Have you tried reducing power and rpm to see if will trim? The Hurricane MkI needs (needed, I haven't rechecked it) about 2200rpm and boost about +1. Something like that anyway.
Torque is not what is causing this. I can shut the engine off and get the same result which if it was torque would disappear, right? I have tried all kinds of things and it still acts like a plane that is tweaked, I've flown out of square weary R/C trainers that no matter how twisted the airframe was I could trim them for straight and level flight and they would fly an even course even if they were flying sideways in a slew so I have never seen torque that can account for this flight behavior.
