I hot start on the runway a lot. We’ve had this conversation more than once in this thread too.
Follow this (older version) and you’ll be fine.

Sonicviz:

For take off:
Make sure you set the trims correctly for take off and progressively apply power as you ramp up the speed before bringing the tail up. Stick is a little in the bottom right quadrant to start with (if you visualize the control inputs as a square looking down with neutral the center), and as you gain speed you migrate to center/forward as the tail comes up. Works for me!
• Take off 
	○ Lock the Tail Wheel  Shift G
	○ 6 degrees right rudder trim ww2 F4U training film
	○ 6 degrees right aileron trim - right wing down ww2 F4U training film
	○ Elevator tab 1 degree nose up ww2 F4U training film
	○ Advance throttle SLOWLY to Full power
	○ Keep the stick back w slight right rudder to compensate as needed like Issues: Take Off Veering
	○ CTRL 0 to reset rudder trim

Most, if not all WW2 fighters (except for twins with counter rotating props like the P-38), are twitchy beasts on Take Off/Landing that mean you need to set rudder/aileron trims for TO in addition to progressive power control combined with gradual stick position changes as the speed increases and the tail is raised, when rudder authority kicks in.

Just takes practice.

Shameless plug for my Location Manager add on, but the upcoming V1.2 release contains new features to make this sort of training much faster with the ability to iterate quickly to different TO/Landing pattern positions, along with quick Weight and Balance presest changes, in order to refine these sorts of skills faster.

If it’s still too tiwtchy you can mod the CG and some other aspects to tame it a little. These issues were discussed a lot before, you can read them starting under the thread quoted above re: TO procedure.
Some of these discussed changes were incorporated into the latest version iirc.
