Default advice on rudder

I have a twinstar, slightly modified, enlarged control surfaces (including rudder) extended nacelles, etc.

Both engines still have about the same amount of out-thrust as in the original version.

The rudder works as expected when I use rudder only to turn left. When I put in right rudder, I get some yaw, but the plane banks left. Therefore I can not complete any turn with rudder only. To date this has not been a problem, but if I ever have a problem with the ailerons, there is no way I could possibly land it with rudder only. I have only tried this at full throttle (OS 25 FX engines).

Any advice or suggestions? Twinman, I am the guy from Nebraska that saw you fly in Katy this summer, could you please make some suggestions on if there is a way to "fix" this potential problem?

Thanks,

Tim
