Default "aileron rudder trim fighting each other"

Definetly sounds like an out of trim rudder to me. As was suggested before try bigger loops to be sure it's not stall induced. A lot of people trim their new planes with ailerons only. If your ailerons are set with a lot of travel, be sure your not inducing corkscrew with their movement. In the following, do all loops into the wind. Get your plane up on a fairly calm day, after each loop adjust the rudder in the opposite way it corkscrews, then re-adjust aileron for straight and level flight. When it loops straight, it is properly trimmed.
