I assume you built it cross-tail.
You MUST give outside rudder on launch, so if you're
launching with your right hand, give it right rudder.
No rudder might be the whole cause of your snap. Two other
things to consider if it still snaps. Don't pull when you
release, let the plane go straight out by reaching out at
release. Also if it is nose-heavy, the high speed at
launch could make the nose suddenly balloon, causing a
flick.
I put the rudder offset on the spring loaded switch, and
that's a big reason why glider pilots like heli radios,
because the spring loaded switch is on the right side.
