A sorry to say, Willdo, but steering with just rudder is simply not possible until you reach a certain speed. Or have an incredibly powerful engine that sends a ton of prop wash over the rudder. Of course if you set your plane pointing straight down the runway you will after a bit of a (basically uncontrolled) running start be able steer with the rudder. But if you want to be able to set the plane down and then taxi into position you HAVE to have a steerable wheel.

Well, if you say so my friend. - If I had only known it couldn't be done, I wouldn't have done it and saved myself all that heartache and energy!
Looks like I must have only dreamed of taxiing my plane around the back lawn!
Or maybe I have made a breakthrough, - a world first in taildragger steering technology!
Now where did I put the address of the Guinness Book of Records?
