How can I tell if I need right thrust, and how much to put in?
That's part of "trimming" a plane with adjustments to the plane itself. There's a "Trim Chart" that walks you through the procedure on (for example) the NSRCA home page.

You will find "side thrust" toward the bottom. That means there are a lot of other things to look at first, so go through them from the top down.

And enjoy it! You will be delighted with some of the modifications you make, like when you pull into that upline, and the plane no longer wants to pull to the left!

Best wishes,
Dave Olson
