Default RE: Anyone ever flown something with a tail skid or non-steerable tail wheel?

I'm curently flying a Sopwith Camel, a Dr.1, a Sopwith Tripe and a Modeltech Magic all with non-steerable tailskids. Like Rodney says, under msot conditions there's no problem, but you do have to learn to use the throttle and down elevator. Takes practise, that's all. By the way, I fly off both grass and paved runways.
