Default Launch problems - 1/2 A

I'm having problems launching my 36" Guillows Cessna. It weighs in wet at 14 oz and is powered by a Norvel 049. I'm getting a lot of "reactionary torque" on the fuselage, and the plane rolls and wants to bank sharply to the left. (Just like when a rubber powered plane blasts off) I'm having problems correcting this with right rudder.

How many degrees of right thrust would be appropriate? Is there any other way to solve this problem?

Thanks
