I have the same plane. I had that problem in the beginning too. They gave you the perfect advice. Just hold that thing on the ground untill it flies all by its self. I think it is a combination of a tip stall and the torque from the prop. It deffinintly makes for a fast roll. I also agree that the plane is a blast once you get it in the air. I love mine. If you can learn how to get it in the air, it is a great plane. Good luck
