Eflite F4u-4 Corsair 1.2m - Realistic P-Factor

Greetings. I just bought a real life Corsair and have been practicing in RF Evolution. I flew the real plane the other day and they fly somewhat similar, except for the takeoff roll. The p-factor and torque of the real plane is significant - it pulls left and gets squirrely during the takeoff roll. The RF model, as is, tracks straight down the runway with zero rudder input. I have searched the 'net' and found many tutorials/how-tos that purport to create realistic pfactor; but I've changed all of the following to maxes and mins without much luck recreating pfactor/torque: Helical Wash Rotation Factor, Prop Wash Factor and Back Torque Factor. In fact, some of these tend to make the plane pull right. The only values that I've found that approximate the actual plane at the beginning roll out, are the right thrust and down thrust parameters. Unfortunately, if I set them aggressively enough to simulate what I'm getting with the actual plane, then it causes the plane to fly crooked at full speed as well. I'm wondering if anyone on here has had luck with a combination of settings to get a reasonable facsimile of the corsair roll out with this model? If so, would you be willing to share? I haven't yet played with the toe-in wheel setting; I'm hoping that combining it with some of the other settings, I can get it dialed in a bit better. Thanks for any input!
