When flying my Turbulent I always make sure that I start the T/O with the stick held firmly back in the navel base.
The same applies on a rolling start.
Stick back, throttle lever gently and smoothly forward, and as the speed builds allow the tail to come up by relaxing the back pressure. Try not raise the tail by pushing the stick forward of central.
The rudder is sensitive, so prompt and small corrections are the answer to unwanted changes of direction.
