Default Ground spinning

I tried to maiden flight my Super Miss the other day and I spent all the time on the ground trying to correct the HARD right turn it was making when I went to 1/2 throttle. This plane is a tail-dragger with a skid so no problem there. Each time the plane was getting air-speed it just went HARD right. No amount of rudder or trim would help the situation. Could this be a result of motor thrust . I'm using the AXI 2808/16 brushless with an elecktro carbon 8.5 x6 prop? I need some insight here. Thanks. Mikel-T HAPPY LEFTOVERS

I have a Rascal I put an axi 2808/16 and had the same problem. It turned out to be one wheel was tighter than the other. When I fixed that it worked ok

Use up elevator at the start of your run so that the tailwheel is forced down and works better. Let up on the elevator when the rudder becomes effective. Also, a lot of people use some tow out on the main wheels to help.
