Trim the rudder first. Once the rudder is trimmed, then do your upline to see if you need more/less right thrust. All of my airplanes have a slight hint of right rudder trim when neutral to fly STRAIGHT. This has no effect on any maneuver if trimmed correctly. One thing to be sure of though: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE WHEN YOU PULL VERTICAL, THAT YOUR WINGS ARE LEVEL BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PULL. EVEN IF YOUR WINGS ARE OFF 1º WHEN YOU PULL, YOU WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR UPLINE BY SEVERAL DEGREES.
