Default RE: Funtana 90 rolling tendency

Two of our Funtanas have gizmo's (whatchamacallits) that equalize elevator throw and direction and so far, have not noticed any unequal elevator movements.

Ordinarily, torgue would cause the aircraft to roll to the left, not the right.
The roll to the right is rather extreme and not likely the result of a side mounted engine because it is so extreme.
Hey guys, just run the engine up on the ground and feel the air flow over the right side of the vertical fin/rudder and compare it to the left side. It is very easy to feel with a bare hand.
Try it and then let everyone know what you found out.
The problem only seems to occur when you pull really quick likie for a wall.
