The spitfires at cruise speed and RPM should not require any rudder to keep balanced in all but turns beyond 30 degrees of bank. At the present the aircraft suffers from way too much yaw at these power settings requiring excessive rudder trim. The reality is that the Spitfire is a very nicely balanced aircraft. At high speed with high RPM starboard rudder is generally required and conversely with power off descent a small amount of port rudder is required.
The same is true on take-off, the wing drop is excessive.
