DC-3 and Grumman Goose throttles drop to idle when tail wheel comes up!

I also confirm this throttle mis-behavior. It does not happen with other twins. It seems to also affect the rudder control which becomes supersensitive at the same time so can’t keep straight on runway. One time I did manage to take off under the reduced power then after I got airborne the throttles behaved normally. A temporary work-around is to use slew mode to raise off the runway (I raised to 1000ft) then return to ground before take-off which solves the problem as reported by ferretman924.
