The real trick is to learn to use just the right amount of throttle.
Issue 1.
Not enough and the bird losses altitude quickley which causes an automatic brain response that triggers adding a heap more throttle which then induces massive torque roll which has other consequences etc etc etc.............. Regain control - yeeha....... Lose control - oops.
Issue 2.
To much initially and the torque roll is terminal unless you have the reflexes of a startled Gazelle.
I wouldn't change my trim for take off Steve. I would spend more time and thought learning exactly how much throttle you need to apply for the most neutral hand launch.
Not trying to sound like a genius mate just trying to help you get your hand launches down.
Throttle position is everything with aircraft that need airspeed over the wings to fly.
