Default Roo Skidding, Help

I take off with full power (P-120) and only apply elevator when ready to rotate and never have this problem, sounds like he is simply over-steering. I do however hold full brakes until the engine is spooled up, thrust will compress the nose oleo then I release. This may help as it is applying quite a bit of weight on the nose gear during takeoff roll (until it starts to lift) using this method.
