Actually, it has to do with the fact the (in a left turn) right aileron is down farther into the windstream, causing more drag than the upward deflected left aileron.
One way to combat this (full scale or RC model) is to have more upward throw on the up aileron and less downward throw on the down aileron.
The shape of the airfoil also is a factor, which is why symetrical airfoils don't suffer as much and more traditional flatbottom airfoils suffer more.
