When taxiing, I blip the throttle and have no problem turning the plane. The problem comes in when the speed drops off during roll out. If I'm heading for the side of the runway, due to inconsistencies in the turf, then that's where the plane is going and I don't have enough control to turn it away, even with full rudder. It's like the tail wheel just remains straight.

Thanks for the help!
