Default Hovering

Hi My name is John, I'm just learning how to hover. I have already learned how to recover from a stalled hover without loosing hardly any altitude, I can even hover at about 75 feet above the ground for aprox 5 seconds. During the hover I have to apply full right rudder, and eventually it still wants to fall to the left. Is this normal? I was thinking maybe it's important for the plane to be ballanced so each side of the plane is the same weight? Any help on hovering will be greatly appreciated. Maybe I need to blip the throttle more?
I'm flying a hangar 9 Edge 540 with a Saito 180. (plenty of power)

thank you

John
