Is it possible you're a little nose heavy? If so, and you trimmed for straight, level flight, there would be a bit of up elevator trimmed in. Then when you roll to either side... there's that up elevator, trimmed in, and now it's pulling you toward the canopy.

Just a thought.

Do you have a elevator to rudder mix put in. If you do, I assume the values for each direction are the same. The Sukhoi pitches harder one way vs. the other. You have to have two different amounts of elevator for each direction of the rudder. If you dont have a mix then I dont know what is causeing it. Mine pitches to the belly both directions.

Some Peter Miller designs can KE with rudd only, Toot Sweet and Fire Drake.

They are sport planes though, and plan builds, but some charactaristic of them must make them KE with no problems.

The Toot Sweet is a bi plane with with a straight wing with no taper, same chord and section all the way. No dihedral too. Lots of side area, its a box fuz but does taper to the back, Im not sure.
