Terrance,

There are 2 ways to solve the problem.

   1) Put in a smaller engine.

or 2) You could also try increasing in the throttle more gradually. In other words, let the plane get up to a speed where the rudder is more effective before getting to full throttle.

An inquiry on L235/320 takeoff techniques -- not off the left side of the runway.
I would appreciate hearing all suggestions and comments from L235/320 pilots on how to counted the verys trong P-factor 'go-left' tendency on takeoff.
  So far I've avoided clipping the left runway lights, but the configuration's P-factor needs some kind of special attention... hopefully not requiring structural modification.
Thanks in advance,
