Default Noob needs help trimming plane Please.

Hello all,
This is my first post. I just bought a cheap 3ch plane (Accipiter Badius or Slope Diver) http://www.raidentech.com/rercracoplgl.html

I know its not the best, but I just wanted something to whet my appetite and give me a feel for flying. I bought a Goldberg kit, and Airtronics radio back in the 80's (a Gentle Lady with an Electric Motor kit), spent a month putting it together and 30 seconds destroying it (glued the "truing wing" page together in the instructions).
The plane I have now seems to be decently made, but I can't get it to stop slowly rolling left during my test glides.
I have tried it handlaunch and powered and the result is the same. The plane rolls slightly left. I give it full trim right or hold the elevator right and it still wants to slowly drift.
Everything looks well aligned.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
