You are experiencing the stall and spin. At stall, if the flight is not symmetric, the aircraft quickly spins, result of a single wing which stalls prior to the other one.
To avoid that:
- before takeoff (moderate, not full, and progressive throttle increase), wait for enough airspeed (tail lifted, horizontal), possibly by slightly pushing the stick, before carefully pulling it. Stall is all the more dangerous that you are in asymmetrical flight because of full throttle. And
you have to anticipate the roll leftwards due to the propeller moment before taking off.
At start, rolling at low to moderate speed, steering is easier with the stick pulled back.
- at landing, do
not hold the flare still at 2 - 3 meters height above the ground. By doing this, you will stall at that height. Rather in a first learning step, touch down with the main gear only, at a slightly higher speed. The ideal is a "three point touch", when the aircraft stalls at the right angle of attack just when razing the ground. But do not stall at 2 meters height. At best IRL, you damage or break landing gears, at worst, you go to a spin.
Many FG aircraft do not have this feature, but it exists IRL (and it results in deadly accidents).
Another thing (Joystick):
If you decrease your stick gain to make it easier, the risk is that you will no longer be able to reach the stall AoA at landing. Which means touching down at higher speed. Always compromises...
[EDIT] I realized later that it was for the rudder. Here, the risk is being no longer able to land with max crosswind.
