Observation from a geriatric taildragger pilot:
It used to be commonplace to use differential throttles (my bad - thrust levers!) to aid in steering on TO. I know that this violates the "throttles set by 60 kt" rule, but certainly could have mitigated a departure such as this.
Comments?

It used to be commonplace to use goggles and scarfs also. Taildraggers and modern jet a/c are completely different machines. And reciprocating engines, and propellors, have completely different acceleration/deacceleration characteristics, which throws the theory out the window.
It could have mitigated this event? How do you come to this conclusion without knowing what caused the event in the first place?
