Do make sure that the ball is centred with rudder trim prior to addressing roll
trim.

If your systems allow it I would be tempted to fly it solo from the R seat. If
you then find that it flies R wing down you have the answer. Thebplanebis so 
sensitive
that I find that if I am flying in perfectly still air above the thermal
layer I can fly the plane by weight shift, stretching a leg or leaning a bit
to one side to go down or turn.
      If however it is still L down then I would do some accurate measures of 
the
wing rigging angles, as it may well be that your R wing is rigged a fraction
of a degree up from the L. Changing the rigging is not a practical proposition,
so I suspect you would be in the situation of having to do a sizeable addition
of a trim strip on your R aileron.
