I have a Duro plane Aerobat that I made a tail dragger in the 90's
At first I had a tail skid which was OK but you usually had to align it to take off down the runway.
So I changed it to full swivel which was a bad mistake. The plane would go whichever way it wanted to on take off but as the rudder suddenly became effective, the plane would swerve in the direction you had the rudder amounting to over control.
I changed the tail wheel to be steerable by connecting it to the rudder the same as the LT-40
