Well then I need SOMETHING

I just bought a 2nd-hand SIG Cap231 EX...

I added nothing to the firewall to adjust thrust angle...

O.S. 1.60 w/ a wooden 16x10 prop...

Trimmed out nicely flies very well... UNTIL...

I go straight verticle... the plane will BADLY pitch to the left... almost like I'm holding 1/2 stick left rudder...

So I assume I NEED a couple degrees right thrust...

Am I reading the plane's response right?
