Default Somethin Extra ARF Right Thrust?

I'v been flying my SE for quite sometime now. On uplines the planes wants to track to the left, and when I "try" to hover the planes usually need constant right rudder. If I add some right thrust would it help, or make it worse. Also if I need to put in some RT whats the best way to do it, i thought about putting a washer behind the left side of the engine mount. Any thought or ideas? Thanks in Advance!

My SE tracks and hovers fine with no right thrust added.

That's were I usually put the washers between the mount and the firewall. Start out with 1 washer and go from there. You will need two washers though 1 for top and 1 for the bottom on the left mount. I usually use #8 washers for this task because they are thicker than the smaller washers.

Also make sure your rudder is trimmed out. With the cheap plastic pushrod tubes my rudder and elavator will change with the temp.
