Default RE: Torque on Takeoff Causing Big Trouble!

All good suggestions, but I say start basic.

with the motor off check to make sure it tracks straight when you push it.

with the motor on as you start the takeoff roll you need to apply a little up elevator, this pushes the tailwheel
down. typically I start with right rudder and up elevator as the plane starts the roll you can reduce both inputs.

The keys are track straight to start with, then right rudder and up elevator, slowly adding power I woould
try idle - 1/2 wait a bit, reduce inputs, full power wait a bit, lift off.
