Corsair 1.2 Ground Looping
I just bought a eflight Corsair 1.2 and everytime i takeoff and land it wants to veer off and ground loop, takeoff is better as I just gun it and it lifts off the ground. But when I land the plane, it always makes an immediate right turn and off the runway. I have tried using opposite rudder and up elevator but still no good. I have had other tail draggers with no issues. Could it be COG? It flies great when in the air.

Sounds like you are stalling it. Corsair's need speed for both take offs and landings. You should be running a decent clip, using right rudder to keep it in a straight line on the ground while slowly upping the throttle. It should basically take off on its own with very little elevator. If you force it off the ground before you get up to speed it will tip stall. Same with landings, come in too slow and it will tip
