I find that thrust adjustments make a bigger difference at launch torque
than during cruise and descent. A degree or two of left thrust can keep a
model turning at launch without causing a tight circle later in the flight.


Tail tilt is also important, especially if your motor stick twists a lot.
 If you have opposite tail tilt at launch torque, that can cause a model to
fly straight. As the torque burns off the tail tilts back the correct way
and the turn tightens up.

I've always avoided rudder offset so I can't comment on that.
