Saitek stick/throttle....rudder issue

Hey,
This is a pretty good stick/throttle combination, but it causes a quirky
behavior in that the aircraft rudder becomes very unstable on takeoff roll.
It slips from side to side, making takeoff a real challange. I'm pretty new
with this stick and would appreciate if anyone else having this problem
could give some feedback on it.

Thanks,

If you are trying to fly a single engine prop, that is the way it should
work. You need to keep a constant left rudder input during take-off and less
of an input in straight and level flight.

I've used the Saitek stick/throttle for a couple of years.

I don't fly prop very often. Usually large commerical jets, (777, 747,
737-800)
So do I keep 'left rudder' on (the rudder toggle button on the underside of
the throttle control)
Thanks.

Oops! I mean a right rudder input. The single engine prop aircraft will want
to turn to the left.

Using the rudder control on the Saitek is tedious, I use rudder pedals now.
