Default at lowest throttle plane moves forward

If you have an asphalt/concrete runway then this may not be avoidable with a high-pitch prop on a light plane. What I do is use a little piece (1/16" thick) of feul tubing between the tire and wheel collar to add a little friction to the wheels. This doesn't seem to impede my take-off and as a plus it helps slow you down once landed. If you have a grass field and you're still rolling, well....
