Moggy,
Silly question, but do you lock your tailwheel on take-off. That will help with some of the pull.
Tarnsman,
I've noticed that the planes seem to have a little less torque on take off, but then I've gotten a little better at handling them also. Locking the tailwheel even on a carrier and giving it right rudder on the run down the deck helps, but I still get that big "shove" to the left when I come off the end of the deck.
If you really want that torque "fix" then fly a TBF/M off the carrier. THAT's got torque.
