Default Getting the Modeltech Magic to hover

For some reason, I can't get my Magic to hover. I've almost lost it a couple times while trying. I usually start real slow, pull back and snap, and apply throttle. However, the Magic continually yaws to the left and and right rudder won't correct it. I know it's probably engine torque, and I've been thinking of adding right thrust, which of course wouldn't be a bad idea.
I've also been thinking of moving the CG back a little, but I'm not sure since it flat spins alright and it practically chases its tail when looping.
Any ideas?
