Joe, You said"It rolled left so I slammed the stick all the way over to the right." Here is the classic combination for the dreaded warbird snap on take off. You were very lucky that it did not. You should have used right rudder to get the wings level, it would have reacted much more positively and would avoid the snap-roll. If you look at most pictures of warbirds just about to hit the ground in a landing or take-off snap you will notice that there will be full aileron deflection and the rudder will be neutral. Also how many times have you heard" I had full right aileron in and it still rolled to the left into the ground." The reason is that the aileron on the left wing is down causing a higher angle of attack and that causes the left wing to stall before the right wing and it snaps left. At low airspeed and high angle of attack as in take-off and landing the rudder is the primary control to bring the wing back to level. Don
