torque and gyroscopic progression will want to roll the plane opposite direction to the rotation of the prop.
remember that the wings don't provide a stable solid surface, lika a road does (even revving a car engine will make the car lurch a bit to one side) and the aelirons don't have trim tabs, like all later model planes do

trimming the rudder to try and correct the roll will make things a bit worse, because it will make the plane travel crabbed.

Trim the elevator to take away the need (but won't totally remove) to pull back constantly and hold the stick to whichever side the plane rolling from... if it rolls left, hold the stick to the right

Even duct tape can't fix stupid... but it can muffle the sound.
