Default RE: Torque on Takeoff Causing Big Trouble!

Thomas you may also want to hold up elevator longer so that the tail wheel is forced on the ground.

I have a few tail draggers that love to yaw on me.

I usually get them aligned on the runway, move the throttle up to about 30-40%, making sure that the plane is tracking straight, put in up some elevator, then give it full throttle.

This drops the "transition" range to a minimal amount of time, and the full throttle will prevent you from stalling the plane out once it lifts from the runway.
