Last night Snoopy pointed out that I was having trouble with brakes sticking. Not being familiar with how the aircraft was supposed to handle on the ground, I didn't even realize it. :P
I found a solution that worked for me, and here is a link to a post that summarizes it pretty well. It is a fairly simple fix, and worked well for me. This problem seems to be most common with Saitek rudder pedals, though a few with CH pedals have also reported it.
Ground handling is now much easier, I don't get pulled to one side or the other when starting my takeoff roll, and the plane practically leaps forward on takeoff now!
