Default Is my aerodynamics all wrong?

I rebuilt my plane after a case of dumb thumbs and took it for a maiden voyage today. As soon as it left the ground the left wing tip hit the ground but survived with no damage. So I took it back to the starting equipment and fired her back up and applied the aileron to the right.

I took off this time but it was still rolling left so i applied full right aileron but it just didnt make any difference what so ever and hit the ground. all the control surfaces moved the correct way I also double checked before i took off and it was still working after i crashed

Could what im describing be a case of not enough of right thrust to the engine or something else. When i balanced the plane there was more weight on the right wing tip not left. So im completley baffled and now got to rebuild my plane again. (PART OF THE FUN OF FLYING)
