Motor torque. Happens with all over powered tail draggers. Look at some old videos of Corsairs taking off of carriers - they have that rudder cranked full right on take-off. It's why the Navy stopped doing it in favor of putting them on land based forward air strips. It shows up as left force on takeoff roll and left bank after takeoff.
