Ground handling

[ckolonko]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question regarding ground handling. When taking off in a spitfire it is possible to keep the spitty straight by just using rudder. The manuals state to use full right rudder trim. Even when applying full throttle rapidly I am able to stop my spitfire from ground looping or spinning in circles. Is this accurate? I remember I time when I would end up a burning wreck (the plane not me) if I applied full throttle too quickly and used no rudder trim.
