I have adjusted the tail wheel to turn left slightly, so I will be forced to apply right rudder while taxiing (per one of the earlier suggestions.)
Any input appreciated.
To each his own but I wouldn't go that route. Why try to correct something that you need to learn with a misaligned tail wheel? It's only gonna make taxiing at slower speeds a PITA, especially when the plane is coming toward you. Straighten the tail wheel and learn to fly the plane. You'll be a much better pilot in the long run, unless you plan on installing a crooked tail wheel on all of your future tail-draggers.
