A couple of things that were not pointed out.  
Here is Gumpy's Torque Rolls 201 class.

The CG is important.  Having weight above the CG, when vertical, makes it easier to fall over on one side.
The propeller pitch is important.  A lower pitched propeller gives more of that 'being in first gear' effect.
A good throttle response is important.  If the engine lags when your jacking with it, you'll fall off to one side.


Gumpy says: Don't give up, even when you crash.
