Default RE: Ground loop

Part of your problem is the very short tail moment. There's way too little distance between the wing trailing edge and the horizontal stab for the rudder to be very effective.

You didn't say which way it's turning when it ground loops; if it's to the left then add more right thrust, it may help some. But that plane will alway be a handful because of the tail moment.
