is not correct because it is the sum of the rolling moments around of the C of M that determines whether or not the aircraft is rolling, not the sum of the forces on each side.
And a moment is:
a) an instant in time.
b) a force acting at a distance from some axis of rotation.

Answers on a postcard please....

Now you could perhaps make a case that there's an additional moment to offset the prop torque, unless it's a glider, in which case, the rolling moments come from?
