I'm wondering if anyone out there has advice for someone who has had his share of "runaways," aircraft where you start the engines and the thing's nose practically hits the tarmac because the engines tremendously over-rev until they settle down - or the thing swings almost completely around first one way, then the other when you start the engines. You then proceed down the taxiway nose-diving the thing into the ground (or raising its tail six feet into the air) every few seconds because it wants to taxi at 90mph, and even when you just touch the brakes it behaves like this. Based on practical experience, what is the best sequence of things to change in such a case? And in what order?

Case in point is Ito-san's Boeing B-2707 SST, which wants to taxi at the proverbial 90mph. Also the engines start out of sequence - press starters 1-4-2-3 and engines start 1-3-2-4. IOW No. 3 is read as no. 4 by aircraft config. I've tried replacing the bird's air file with that from the Concorde but it hasn't seemed to help:mixedsmi:.

What I'm looking for is a sort of "in general this is what you need to do" sort of guide when I run into something like this!:banghead:
 
My default saved flight does this with no matter what aircraft I put in there. Just blip the throttle and it idles right down.
