Default RE: HowTo Trim a Biplane

Track to the left? If I'm not adding constant right rudder (or if the wind is in your face - 90 degrees from the plane's left) it will hang a hard left as throttle is advanced to take off speed - off the runway - necessitating wide open throttle just to survive.. I do not like the "whack it wide open and hit the elevator" style of take off. I like the slow increase in throttle, get the tail flying then a nice smooth lift off.
