I would much rather have it wanting to torque when being straight vertical.
If any one has any advise,comments or knowledge as to how I can correct this or what's causing this I would greatly appreciate it.

Edgeman,

Believe it or not, there is no problem. When the plane is looking like it is leaning to the canopy, that is when the plane is actually vertical and what you are looking for. To me, it is just a visual illusion with the rear turtle deck making it look odd and wrong in the eye of vertical, but you do want the plane leaning and it will darn near start the TR rather easily at that point. Don't fight it, just lean it to the canopy you will have it.

Most guys that I have helped with TR'n also have had the same perception on this visual of the plane.
