Paul:

I have a similar problem to solve, but I don't know how.

I have researched about rudder-pitch coupling; however, I don't fully understand the forces that produce that reaction, or how to correct it.

Can anybody help?

Regards!
Do I understand it right? Model will pitch down and roll in the direction opposite of applied rudder? That is, apply left rudder and the model violently pitches down and rolls right simultaneously.

A simple fix for such a state is to increase dihedral in the wing
